Equilibrium: A uniform 300-kg beam, 6.00 m long, is freely pivoted at P, as shown in the figure. The beam is supported in a horizontal position by a light strut, 5.00 m long, which is freely pivoted at Q and is loosely pinned to the beam at R. A load of mass is suspended from the end of the beam at S. A maximum compression of 23,000 N in the strut is permitted, due to safety. The maximum mass M of the load is closest to 
A) 789 kg.
B) 554 kg.
C) 1020 kg.
D) 1090 kg.
