In the image below, suppose we place 0.8 kg a distance of 6cm to
the left-hand-side of the fulcrum. How much mass would we
have to place at a distance of 78 cm to bring system to
equilibrium? Pretend the beam itself is massless. Give your
answer in units of grams. Do not explicitly include units in your
answer, however (include number only). Including units (like g)
will result in the question being scored wrong.
