Consider the physical diagram below of a solid cylinder mass M that remains stationary on a slope with friction due to a small mass m placed at the radius. If you choose the pivot point to be at the centre of the cylinder, then the torque from the weight mg acts out of the page, the torque from the friction force fs acts into the page and the torque from the normal and cylinder weight Mg is zero.

The figure shows the Russel fracture traction device and a mechanical model of the leg. The leg is held in balance in the position indicated by the two weights attached to the two cables. The combined weight of the leg and cast is W=180 N. The horizontal distance between points A and B where the cables are attached to the leg is L=100 cm and the vertical distance is d=5 cm. Point C is the center of gravity of the cast and leg at three quarters of the L measured from point A (3L/4= 75 cm). The angle that cable 2 makes with the horizontal is measured as β=30°.
