To keep the object from falling, a force equal to the weight of the object must be applied to the wheel. The force required is given by the formula:
[ F = \frac{m \cdot g \cdot r_1}{r_2} ]
Where:
- ( F ) is the force applied to the wheel,
- ( m ) is the mass of the object (5 kg),
- ( g ) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately (9.81 , \text{m/s}^2)),
- ( r_1 ) is the radius of the axle (18 m),
- ( r_2 ) is the radius of the wheel (6 m).
Plugging in the values:
[ F = \frac{5 , \text{kg} \times 9.81 , \text{m/s}^2 \times 18 , \text{m}}{6 , \text{m}} ]
[ F = \frac{882.45 , \text{N} \cdot \text{m}}{6 , \text{m}} ]
[ F = 147.075 , \text{N} ]
Therefore, approximately 147.075 Newtons of force must be applied to the wheel to keep the object from falling.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
