Board suspended from a ceiling

In summary, to find out how much the board weighs, we need to understand the force of the hanging mass and the relevance of the spring, if any. It is important to know the given facts, such as the spring being vertical and any information about its extension or oscillation.

Homework Statement


This is a more conceptual question so I just need the steps for this. Basically the board is hanging from the ceiling by a spring, with only its bottom corner touching the ground. Near the middle (but not exactly) there is mass hanging off of the board. I need to find out how much the board weighs

Homework Equations


Torque = Force x Distance, maybe Spring equations.

The Attempt at a Solution


Understand how to get the force of the hanging mass, but not if the spring has any relevance to this other than being another force

It depends what facts you are given.
Is the spring vertical?

You did not answer my other (implied) question. What facts are given? E.g., you might be given the spring extension, or something about oscillation, etc.
