# A \( 6.00 \, \text{m} \) long, \( 500 \, \text{kg} \) steel uniform beam extends horizontally from the point where it has been bolted to the framework of a new building under construction. A \( 70 \, \text{kg} \) construction worker stands at the far end of the beam. What is the magnitude of the torque about the bolt due to the worker and the weight of the beam?
