Answer:
[tex]d_{2}[/tex] = 169 cm
Explanation:
Mass 1 = 45 kg => Force = 450 N
Mass 2 = 29 kg => Force = 290 N
According to principle of moments:
=> [tex]F_{1}d_{1} = F_{2}d_{2}[/tex]
Where [tex]F_{1}[/tex] = 450 N, [tex]d_{1}[/tex] = 109 cm and [tex]F_{2}[/tex] = 290 N
=> (450)(109) = 290[tex]d_{2}[/tex]
=> 49050 = 290[tex]d_{2}[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 290
=> [tex]d_{2}[/tex] = 169 cm
