Forces — practice question

Beam XY is uniform, has a length of $100\,\text{cm}$ and a weight of $4.0\,\text{N}$. It is supported on a pivot placed $60\,\text{cm}$ from end X. An $8.0\,\text{N}$ load is suspended from the beam at a point $10\,\text{cm}$ from end X. Balance is maintained by a force $F$ applied to the beam $80\,\text{cm}$ from end X. What is the size of force $F$?

  • A$8.0\,\text{N}$
  • B$18\,\text{N}$
  • C$22\,\text{N}$
  • D$44\,\text{N}$
