With a rectangle of w x h where w is 2.1m and h is d + .30m +.6m solve for d.  Other information see the image in the next post.

I guess you're meant to equate clockwise and anticlockwise moments:

gallows

So d ≈ 1.663 m

note that cos(30°) = (√3)/2

You should double check that the moments given above are correct - I did this rather quickly!

Great. Will have a look on the transport home for this. Seems ok. Didnt know that would be the way to solve for d though.
