Determining the tension in the chain


A library ladder of length L rolls on wheels as shown in the figure below. The two legs of the ladder freely pivot at the hinge at the top. The legs are kept from splaying apart by a light-weight chain that is attached halfway up the ladder. If the ladder weighs 200 N, and the angle between each leg and the vertical is 25?, what is the tension in the chain?
