Chapter 10, Problem 74P
A stepladder of negligible weight is constructed as shown in Figure P10.73, with AC = BC = ℓ. A painter of mass m stands on the ladder a distance d from the bottom. Assuming the floor is frictionless, find (a) the tension in the horizontal bar DE connecting the two halves of the ladder, (b) the normal forces at A and B, and (c) the components of the reaction force at the single hinge C that the left half of the ladder exerts on the right half. Suggestion: Treat the ladder as a single object, but also treat each half of the ladder separately.

It's exciting watching the construction and renovation happening in Uptown
Columbus! On one construction site, you notice that a uniform beam of length 13.6
m and mass 47.9 kg is attached to a wall by a cable. The angle between the cable
and the beam is 59.5°. The beam is free to pivot about the point where it attaches to
the wall. What is the tension in the cable, if the beam is not moving?
