How to Determine the Weight of a Board Suspended by a Spring?

[Kospike]

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

if the spring has any relevance

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

 

[Kospike]

Yes the spring is vertical

 

[haruspex]

Yes the spring is 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.
