Equilibrium?

[PhysicsPhun]

A uniform horizontal bar of length L = 3 m and weight 232 N is pinned to a vertical wall and supported by a thin wire that makes an angle of theta = 35o with the horizontal. A mass M, with a weight of 355 N, can be moved anywhere along the bar. The wire can withstand a maximum tension of 537 N. What is the maximum possible distance from the wall at which mass M can be placed before the wire breaks?

I believe that this is an equilibrium problem, my problem is that i don't know where to start.

Any help would be appreciated.

This is a static equilibrium problem. There are both rotational and translational considerations. The point pinned to the wall gives a constraint force. The wire gives a force at a moment. The weight of the bar gives a force about a moment. The weight of the mass M gives a force about a moment. Consider rotational equilibrium about the point pinned to the wall.

Draw a free body diagram.

I got this one, forgot I asked for help. Thanks!
