Counterweight Cargo

Dispatch three cargo loads weighing 5, 9 and 10. Four one-crate hooks have lever arms −2, −1, +1 and +2; tap a hook to load the next weight. A movable weight-2 counterbalance adds twice its position (−2…+2) to torque. Keep TOTAL torque within ±6 after every load or counterweight move. Dispatch requires the exact cargo weight and ZERO torque. Cargo clears after dispatch but the counterweight stays put, so plan the next load’s starting balance.
