An object with a mass of $7 k g$ $7 kg$ is hanging from an axle with a radius of $58 m$ $58 m$ . If the wheel attached to the axle has a radius of $72 m$ $72 m$ , how much force must be applied to the wheel to keep the object from falling?

The force is $= 55.3 N$ $=55.3N$

The load $= (7 g) N$ $=(7g)N$

Radius of axle $r = 58 m$ $r=58m$

Radius of wheel $R = 72 m$ $R=72m$

Taking moments about the center of the axle

$F \cdot 72 = 7 \cdot g \cdot 58$ $F*72=7*g*58$

$F = \frac{7 \cdot g \cdot 58}{72} = 55.3 N$ $F=(7*g*58)/72=55.3N$
