A 10.0-kg monkey climbs a uniform ladder with weight w = 1.09 ✕ 102 N and length  L = 3.40 m  as shown in the figure below. The ladder rests against the wall at an angle of  ? = 60°.  The upper and lower ends of the ladder rest on frictionless surfaces, with the lower end fastened to the wall by a horizontal rope that is frayed and that, can support a maximum tension of only 80.0 N.
A person is standing on a section of uniform scaffolding as shown in the figure. The section of scaffolding is L = 1.50 m in length, has a ms = 24.5 kg mass and is supported by three ropes as shown. Determine the magnitude of the tension in each rope when a person with a weight of Wp = 640 N is a distance d = 0.700 m from the left end. magnitude of T1               N magnitude of T2          N magnitude of T3          N
