The force is #F=11.03N#

The load is #L=3gN#

The radius of the axle is #r=0.06m#

The radius of the wheel is #R=0.16m#

The effort is #=FN#

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

Taking moments about the center of the axle

#F*0.16=3g*0.06#

#F=(3g*0.06)/0.16=11.03N#

The force is #F=11.03N#
