    Answer: F = 20 N

    Explanation:

    I will ASSUME that the fulcrum is at the center of gravity of the lever arm, This means that the lever arm itself creates no moment about the fulcrum because there is no moment arm for that particular force.

    To solve, we sum moments about any convenient point to zero (zero because there is no acceleration in the F = ma equation)

    The easiest convenient point is the fulcrum

    30((90/2) – 15) – F(90/2) = 0

               30(30) = F(45)

                        F = 900/45 = 20 N
