A 15 kg monkey climbs a uniform ladder with weight 1.2 *10^2 N and length L=3.00 m. The ladder rests against the wall and makes an angle of theta= 60.0 degrees with the ground. The upper and lower ends of the ladder rest on frictionless surfaces. The lower end is connected to the wall by a horizontal rope. HInt : Draw a force diagram for the ladder and the normal forces from the ground and wall acting on the ladder.
