A 12.8 m ladder whose weight is 200N is placed against a smooth vertical wall. A person whose weight is 500 N stands on the ladder a distance 2.2 m up the ladder. The ladder makes an angle of 31 degrees with the vertical wall (see figure) A. If the contact between the ladder and the floor is chosen to be the axis of rotation, find the magnitude and direction ("+" for CCW or "-" for CW) of the torque due to the weight of the ladder B.
