$b = \frac{1}{2} = 0, 5 m$ $b=1/2=0,5 m$

Explanation:

$F_{1} : First weight$ $F_1:" First weight"$
$F_{2} : second weight$ $F_2:" Second weight"$
$a : distance between F_1 and fulcrum$ $a:" distance between F_1 and fulcrum"$
$b : distance between F_2 and fulcrum$ $b:" distance between F_2 and fulcrum"$
$you can write balance equation by:$ $"you can write balance equation by:"$
$F_{1} \cdot a = F_{2} \cdot b$ $F_1*a=F_2*b$
$5 \cdot 6 = 60 \cdot b$ $5*6=60*b$
$cancel(30)=cancel(60)*b$
$b=1/2=0,5 m$
