One end of a horizontal uniform beam of weight $W$ and length $L$ is hinged on a vertical wall at point $O$ and its other end is supported by a light inextensible rope. The other end of the rope is fixed at point $Q$, at a height $L$ above the hinge at point $O$. A block of weight $\alpha W$ is attached at the point $P$ of the beam, as shown in the figure (not to scale). The rope can sustain a maximum tension of $(2 \sqrt{2}) W$. Which of the following statement($s$) is(are) correct ?
→$(A)$ The vertical component of reaction force at $O$ does not depend on $\alpha$
