The force is $=37.7N$

enter image source here

The load is $L=7gN$

The radius of the axle is $r=33m$

The radius of the wheel is $R=60m$

The effort is $=FN$

The acceleration due to gravity is $g=9.8ms^-2$

Taking moments about the center of the axle

$F*60=7g*33$

$F=7g*33/0=37.7N$

The force is $F=37.7N$
