The foot of a ladder rests against a wall, and its top is held by a horizontal tie rope, as indicated in Fig. 5-20. The ladder weighs 100 N, and its center of gravity is 0.40 of its length from the foot. A 150-N child hangs from a rung that is 0.20 of the length from the top. Determine the tension in the tie rope and the components of the force on the foot of the ladder.
