As shown below, on Titan 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 0.9 L from the lower end of the beam and the beam is exerting a force of 46 N on the wall. Determine the mass of the beam and the minimum coefficient of static friction between the floor and the beam. mass of the beam = μs, min =
