Computation

A $6\mathrm{.}4-$kg bowling ball rests on a uniform beam of length $L$ and mass $M,$ as in the figure. The beam is supported at two points separated by a distance $L$ where $=0\mathrm{.}66$ and the bowling ball is a distance $d=3\mathrm{.}3m$ from support point $1.$ Calculate the force $F$ exerted on the beam by support point $1$ if $M=20kg$ and $L=4\mathrm{.}4m.$
