The force is $=4.2N$

enter image source here

The load is $L=2gN$

The radius of the axle is $r=3m$

The radius of the wheel is $R=14m$

The effort is $=FN$

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

Taking moments about the center of the axle

$F*14=2g*3$

$F=2g*3/14=4.2N$

The force is $F=4.2N$
