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 α W is attached at point P of the beam, as shown in the figure (not to scale). The rope can sustain a maximum tension of (2 √ 2 )W. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct
1
The vertical component of reaction force does not depend on α
2
The vertical component depend on α
3
The rope breaks at α > 2.5
4
The tension in the rope is 2W
