I'm not sure trying to equate it to simply lifting a weight works - doesn't it depend on the angle as the higher it goes, the more weight the bar is taking?
Imagine you got it to 90 degrees - the bar would bear the whole weight and the hand would just be stabilising it

It's not the maths way, but if it was really important to know I'd use luggage scales to see weight at different points.
But I'd just treat it like a machine. Ignore leverage, just put weight on til feel right. grunt. lift weight.

So a maths question for those more cleverer than me
If someone is doing a landmine exercise, if the bar is 20kgs and has one 20kg plate being picked up from the end, how much is being lifted?
Is it 40kgs? Or 30kg cause only half the bar is counted? Or only really 25kgs really? Is being attached to the ground negating some of the weight?
