/As shown in Fig.7.40, the two sides of a step ladder BA and CA are 1.6 m long andhinged at A. A rope DE, 0.5 m is tied half way up. A weight 40 kg is suspended froma point F, 1.2 m from B along the ladder BA. Assuming the floor to be frictionlessand neglecting the weight of the ladder, find the tension in the rope and forcesexerted by the floor on the ladder. (Take g 9.8 m/s?)(Hint: Consider the equilibrium of each side of the ladder separately.)
