State the principle of moments.
When a system is in equilibrium, the sum of the total clockwise moment is equal to the sum of the total anti-clockwise moment about the same pivot.
When a system is in equilibrium, the sum of the total clockwise moment is greater the sum of the total anti-clockwise moment about the same pivot.
When a system is in equilibrium, the sum of the total clockwise moment is less than the sum of the total anti-clockwise moment about the same pivot.
When a system is in equilibrium, the sum of the total clockwise moment is equal to the sum of the total anti-clockwise moment about the different pivot.
