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 $70 m$ $70 m$ , how much force must be applied to the wheel to keep the object from falling?

The force to be applied is $= 56.84 N$ $=56.84N$

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

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

Radius of wheel $R = 70 m$ $R=70m$

Taking moments about the center of the axle

$F \cdot 70 = 7 \cdot g \cdot 58$ $F*70=7*g*58$

$F = \frac{7 \cdot g \cdot 58}{70} = 56.84 N$ $F=(7*g*58)/70=56.84N$
