The ladder shown in figure has negligible mass and rests on a frictionless floor. The crossbar connects the two legs of the ladder at the middle. The angle between the two legs is `60^0`. The fat person sitting on the ladder has a mas of 80 kg. Find the contact force exerted by the floor on each leg and the tension in the cross bar.

Figure 5-50 shows two blocks connected by a cord (of negligible mass) that passes over a frictionless pulley (also of negligible mass). The arrangement is known as Atwood's machine. One block has mass m_(1)=1.30 kg, the other has mass m_(2)=2.80 kg. What are (a) the magnitude of the blocks' acceleration and (b) the tension in the cord ?
