As shown below, on Venus a beam of length L is leaning against a frictionless wall and is in static equilibrium. The center of mass of the
beam is located 0.8L from the lower end of the beam and the wall is exerting a force of 79 N on the beam.
Determine the beam's mass and the minimum coefficient of static
friction between the floor and the beam.
