A ladder leans against a wall making a 55.0° angle to the floor. The ladder is 4.50 m long, and weighs 415 N. The wall is frictionless and so is the floor. A horizontal wire is attached to the base of the ladder and attached to the wall. (a) What is the tension in the wire? (b) A person who weighs 655 N stands on a rung of the ladder located 2.00 m from its lower end. What is the new tension in the wire?
