i and 3.00 m long, are hinged at point A and tied together by a horizont Two ladders, 4.00 m a al rope 0.90 m above the floor. The ladders weight 480 N and 360 N, respectively, and the center of gravity of each is at its cente frictionless. If an 800-N painter stands at p ope. Suppose the rope is 3/16 nches in diameter and has a tensile strength of 620 rope, and the magnitude of the force one ladder exerts on the other at point the floor is freshly waxed and point A, find the tension in the horizontal pounds. Should the painter stand at point A. Here are some clues: find the upward force at the bottom of each ladder, the tension in the
