The force is $= 9.8 N$ $=9.8N$

The load is $L = 2 g N$ $L=2gN$

The radius of the axle is $r = 7 m$ $r=7m$

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

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

$F \cdot 14 = 2 g \cdot 7$ $F*14=2g*7$

$F = \frac{2 g \cdot 7}{14} = 9.8 N$ $F=(2g*7)/14=9.8N$

The force is $F = 9.8 N$ $F=9.8N$
