Force is acting from the center, so to find the center of 3m slab, we will divide 3 by 2 so we get 1.5. We note that 0.5 of the length of the slab is on the right side of the wall. So if we sbtract 0.5 from 1.5 we will get 1 which is the distance from wall from left side where the force is acting. Considering wall as pivot we will apply the formua 1 x 18000 = 0.5 x a. (a is unknown). So we will get a = 36000N.
