Chapter 5, Problem 19SP
An 800-N painter stands on a uniform horizontal 100-N plank resting on the rungs of two separated stepladders. The plank is 4.00 m long, and it is supported at its very ends (not a very safe arrangement). The painter stands on the plank 1.00 m from its right end. Determine the upward force exerted by the ladder on the left. [Hint: Draw a diagram and locate the weight of the plank at its c.g. and take the torques around the right end.]
