20kg mass is at the 1.25 meter mark. Package G is at 1 meter mark. What must the mass of object G be? Calculate the torque that each object creates. The 20 kg mass on the left creates a positive torque. If the system is in equilibrium, the magnitude of the torque on the right must equal the magnitude of the torque on the left.
