C9P3 **Problem Statement:**A woman stands on the end of a 12 m long uniform beam that has a pivot 3 m from the end the woman is standing on. If the beam is balanced and the woman has a mass of 80 kg, then what must the mass of the beam be?- A) 20 kg- B) 40 kg- C) 80 kg - D) 160 kg - E) It would be impossible for the beam to be balanced.**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram depicts a beam balanced on a fulcrum (pivot point). The beam is 12 meters in total length. The woman is standing at one end of the beam, which is 3 meters from the pivot on her side. The challenge here is to determine the required mass of the beam to maintain balance with the given conditions.

The beam will be balanced when the net torque on it is zero.
