3. The foot of a ladder rests against a wall and its top is held by a tie rope as shown in the figure below. The ladder weighs 100N, and center of gravity is 0.40m length from the foot. A 150N Child hangs from a rung that is 0.20 of length from the top. Determine the tension in the tie rope and the components of the force on the foot of the ladder.

Completing Question : Length of ladder 1m
Angle made by ladder with the vertical is 37°
Final Answer :
Tension =120N
Horizontal Component of force acting on the foot of ladder : = Tension of rope
Vertical Component : 250N
Steps and Understanding :
1) System is in Equilibrium,
So Net Torque about any point is 0 .
2) Let that point be Foot of ladder.
There are forced which are giving torque to ladder.
Tension
Force applied by Child
Gravitational force.
3) We will make out ne+ torque 0 to find the value of Tension.
For Calculation see pic.
