One end of a horizontal uniform beam of weight W and length L is hinged on a vertical wall at point O and its other end is supported by a light inextensible rope. The other end of the rope is fixed at point Q, at a height L above the hinge at point O. A block of weight αW is attached at the point P of the beam, as shown in the figure (not$$ to $$scale). The rope can sustain a maximum tension of (22)W$$. Which of the following $$statement(s) $$is(are)$$ correct?
