This is a simple exercise but I can't solve it...

 

A 10m 9000N beam is risen up by two parallel wire ropes (a=0m/s^2), one attached to one end and the other 1m from the other end. At what force each wire rope is rising the beam? Sorry for the broken English.

[math]F_{net} = 0N[/math] because [math]a = 0ms^{-2}[/math], the forces on the beam are [math]F_{grav}=-(F_{rope1}+F_{rope2})=9000N[/math], and the free-body diagram didn't help me either. I'm awful in physics but if someone could give me more hints...

What does the fact that the beam is not turning as it is raised tell you?
