    The passage discusses calculating moments due to different forces acting on objects and determining equilibrium forces.

    Moments are calculated by taking the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force multiplied by the magnitude of the force. The directions and magnitudes of individual moments are determined and then summed.

    To determine the force needed for equilibrium, the total clockwise and anticlockwise moments are set equal. The unknown force is then isolated.
