29 kg
Explanation:
Balance the torques acting on the cabinet above the pivot point. i.e.,
W = weight = mg
R = reaction force exerted by the wall on the cabinet at the anchor. This force is left pointing/
Solving the equation above,
To express R in kg, divide it by g
The pivot assumes more than weight, it also takes on the horizontal force exerted on the cabinet by the wall at the anchor. Effective, the pivot experience
