The force is $= 32.7 N$ $=32.7N$

The load L=(4g)N#

Radius of axle $r = 15 m$ $r=15m$

Radius of wheel $R = 18 m$ $R=18m$

Taking moments about the center of the axle

$F \cdot R = L \cdot r$ $F*R=L*r$

$F \cdot 18 = 4 \cdot g \cdot 15$ $F*18=4*g*15$

$F = \frac{4 \cdot g \cdot 15}{18} = 32.7 N$ $F=(4*g*15)/18=32.7N$
