There are 3 vertical forces here, of which we know only one (the weight
of the plank). I hope you realize that if you take moments about the
pivot point you will get an equation that does not contain one of the
unknowns(the upward force through the pivot point). The equation will
contain the only other unknown, which is the weight of the mass added to
the short end.
First, add to the diagram the vectors representing the two downward
forces. Also indicate their distances from the pivot point.
