Chapter 5, Problem 30SP
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.

Had we selected some other axis for the torque equation, the solution might differ in the details ---Select-- . For example, had we chosen an axis through the center of gravity of the beam, the torque equation would involve both T and R.
