    The distance is 1.875 m away from the fulcrum of yhe simple lever

    Explanation:

    Clock wise moment = anti-clock wiseo moment.

    Let's the distance to be determined be x ... and let's assume x to be on the left.

    15*2.5 = 20*x

    37.5 = 20x

    37.5/20 = x

    1.875 = x

    The distance is 1.875 m away from the fulcrum of yhe simple lever
