Answer

$7.4\space kg$

Work Step by Step

Please see the attached image first. Let's consider the static equilibrium of the arm. $\sum\vec \tau_{A}\curvearrowright\space=0$ $2.7\space kg\times g\times 14\space cm+mg\times 32\space cm-T_{max}sin80^{\circ}\times3.6\space cm=0$ $32mg=760\space N\times3.6sin80^{\circ}-37.8g\space N$ $m=7.4\space kg$ Maximum mass = 7.4 kg
