In order to balance the stick on the pivot, the total "moments" must be equal on both sides.  A "moment" is (a weight) x (its distance from the center).

for the 5N weight: Moment = (5N) x (3 cm) = 15 N-cm

for the 12N weight: Moment = (12N) x (5 cm) = 60 N-cm

Sum of the moments trying to pull the stick down on that side = 75 N-cm

Whatever we hang on the other side has to provide a moment of 75 N-cm in the other direction.  We have a 25N weight. Where should we hang it ?  

(25N) x (distance from the pivot) = 75 N-cm

Distance from the pivot = (75 N-cm) / (25 N)

<em>Distance from the pivot =  3 cm </em>
