Turning Effects of Forces problem 24


The stand in the picture is more loaded on the left side and is therefore unstable.




The figure shows two weights - the smaller is 2 kg and the larger is 14 kg. The mass of the stand is negligible. How much extra weight do we have to add to either of the points 5, 6, 7, or 8 to keep the stand stable?
