Explanation:

Let x = distance of [tex]F_1[/tex] from the fulcrum and let's assume that the counterclockwise direction is positive. In order to attain equilibrium, the net torque [tex]\tau_{net}[/tex] about the fulcrum is zero:

[tex]\tau_{net} = -F_1x + F_2d_2 = 0[/tex]

[tex] -m_1gx + m_2gd_2 = 0[/tex]

[tex]m_1x = m_2d_2[/tex]

Solving for x,

[tex]x = \dfrac{m_2}{m_1}d_2[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:=\left(\dfrac{105.7\:\text{g}}{65.7\:\text{g}} \right)(13.8\:\text{cm}) = 22.2\:\text{cm}[/tex]
