Solution Summary
In this solution we compute the direction of an applied force of specified magnitude to a beam on a fulcrum in order for it to be balanced.

** Please see the attachment for the complete solution **
The force diagram below shows all the forces acting on the beam. In order for it not to pivot, the net torque must be zero.
(please see the attached file)
Since the system is static, the net force and net torque acting on the beam are both zero. Thus we have:
