Homework Statement

From the diagram below find the position of the man ($x$) if the system is in balance. Total length is $L$ and the man is distance $x$ from one end.

3. The Attempt at a Solution [/B]
I know that the system must be in balance if all the torque and all the forces equate to zero. That said i tried this:
The left tension force i name $T_1$ and the right $T_2$. And i take the right point as reference point.
$\sum M=T*L-mg\frac{L}{2}-Mg(L-x)=0$
$\sum F=T+F-(m+M)g=0$
These equation i know but still cnat express $x$ as i have too many unknowns. Could i eliminate something here?

Hint: Look at the force equation for the lower pulley and pick a smart reference point for your torque computation.

That force should equal the tension on the right, right? I picked a reference point to the right so it an be lost. Can you provide another hunt so i can see what you mean?

I think there is something wrong with your sum of forces equation.

That force should equal the tension on the right, right?

Which force? There are three forces acting on that pulley.
