Chapter 4, Problem 4.54SP
A 40-ft ladder weighing 130 lb is pin-connected to the floor at point A and rests against a smooth, frictionless wall at point B, as shown. The ladder forms an angle of 60° with the horizontal floor and support a load of 200 lb located 5 ft from the top end. Calculate the reactions at the top and bottom of the ladder.

A uniform ladder, 4.8 m long and weighing 220 N, rests against a smooth vertical wall. By taking moments about lower end of the ladder, which is 1.5 m from the wall, calculate the horizontal reaction of the wall on the ladder. Take the weight of the ladder as acting at its mid-point. Also, find the magnitude and direction of the reaction at the floor.Note: Show a free-body-diagram and all your workings.
3.) A wheel of 10-in radius carries a load of 1000lb, as shown.
(a.) Determine the horizontal force P applied at the center which is necessary to start
the wheel over a 5-in block. Also find the reaction at the block.
(b.) if the force P may be inclined at any angle with the horizontal, determine the
minimum value of P to start the wheel over the block; the angle P makes with the
horizontal; and the reaction at the block.
