To solve the problem, we will use the principle of moments, which states that for a system in equilibrium, the clockwise moments about a pivot point must equal the anticlockwise moments. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the lengths of the arms**: - The length of the longer arm (L1) = 60 cm - The length of the shorter arm (L2) = 40 cm ...
