1. The foot of a ladder rests against a wall and its top is held by a tie rope as shown in the figure below. The ladder weighs 100N, and center of gravity is 0.40m length from the foot. A 150N Child hangs from a rung that is 0.20 of length from the top. Determine the tension in the tie rope and the components of the force on the foot of the ladder.

Dear Ralph Kenneth Selda, According to the problem "A 150N Child hangs
from a rung that is 0.20 of length from the top". So, as we measure
all distances from foot to top, it will give length (L-0.2L)=0.8L

Where did the length of 0.8 L come from? Kindly explain this solution
(L - 0.2L).
