The force is $= 19.6 N$ $=19.6N$

The load is $L = 3 g N$ $L=3gN$

The radius of the axle is $r = 14 m$ $r=14m$

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

The effort is $= F N$ $=FN$

The acceleration due to gravity is $g = 9.8 m s^{- 2}$ $g=9.8ms^-2$

Taking moments about the center of the axle

$F \cdot 21 = 3 g \cdot 14$ $F*21=3g*14$

$F = \frac{3 g \cdot 14}{2} = 19.6 N$ $F=(3g*14)/2=19.6N$

The force is $F = 19.6 N$ $F=19.6N$
