    A 1000 lb weight is placed 13 ft from a wall on a cantilevered beam. The moment exerted by the weight at the wall is 13,000 lb-ft (1000 lb x 13 ft), assuming the weight acts at the end of the beam. A 750 lb force is applied to a linkage arm that pivots at point P. For a couple to form about P, a second force of equal magnitude but opposite direction is needed at point A. The magnitude of the resulting couple is 750 lb-ft (750 lb x 5 in). For a see-saw with a 285 lb person 3 ft from pivot P to balance, a 95 lb person must sit 10 ft from P. The force at P is
