Question: For the stepladder shown in the figure, sides ( A C ) and ( C E ) are each 3 .

For the stepladder shown in the figure, sides \( A C \) and \( C E \) are each 3.17 m long and hinged at \( C \). Bar \( B D \) is a tie-rod 0.674 m long, halfway up. A man weighing 777 N climbs 2.38 m along the ladder. Assuming that the floor is frictionless and neglecting the mass of the ladder, find (a) the tension in the tie-rod and the magnitudes of the forces on the ladder from the floor at (b) A and (c) E.(Hint: Isolate parts of the ladder in applying the equilibrium conditions.)
