A 75 kg man climbs up a 120 N uniform ladder of length 4m. The ladder rests on a frictionless wall and a frictionless floor, however the lower end of the ladder is fastened to the wall as shown below by a horizontal rope which can withstand a maximum tension of 400 N. Find, (a) the tension in this rope when the man is one third up the ladder, and (b) the maximum distance (d) that the man can climb before the rope breaks. 53° 15 cm A 75 kg man climbs up a 120 N uniform ladder of length 4m.
