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 $\alpha W$ is attached at the point $P$ of the beam, as shown in the figure (not to scale). The rope can sustain a maximum tension of $(2 \sqrt{2}) W$. Which of the following statement($s$) is(are) correct ?
$(A)$ The vertical component of reaction force at $O$ does not depend on $\alpha$
$(B)$ The horizontal component of reaction force at $O$ is equal to $W$ for $\alpha=0.5$
$(C)$ The tension in the rope is $2 W$ for $\alpha=0.5$
$(D)$ The rope breaks if $\alpha>1.5$

A non-uniform bar of weight $W$ is suspended at rest by two strings of negligible weight as shown in Figure. The angles made by the strings with the vertical are $36.9^{\circ}$ and $53.1^{\circ}$ respectively. The bar is $2\; m$ long. Calculate the distance $d$ of the centre of gravity of the bar from its left end.
