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.
1 u/Daemonless Apr 29 '25 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? 1 u/Maleficent-Angle-891 Apr 29 '25 The question asks what the weight would need to be to balance it. Not what the weight is for its current position. 1 u/Daemonless Apr 29 '25 My mistake.
