The force is $=100.8N$

enter image source here

The load is $L=8gN$

The radius of the axle is $r=27m$

The radius of the wheel is $R=21m$

The effort is $=FN$

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

Taking moments about the center of the axle

$F*21=8g*27$

$F=8g*27/21=N$

The force is $F=100.8N$
