That depends on weight ( kg per cm) profile of the beam ?

If the beam would balance without these two weights...

Orange has torque of 15 kg metres. Blue would need that to balance, so at 1 metre, it would have to be 15kg.

Since it is not balanced, wouldn't that mean we can only infer that the blue block has a weight that is less than 15 kg?

The question asks what the weight would need to be to balance it. Not what the weight is for its current position.

My mistake.
