A ladder has a mass of 23.4 kg which is uniformly distributed along
its length of L = 2.56 m. The ladder is resting against a smooth
wall and makes an angle 0 = 31.7° with respect to the floor as
shown in the figure on the left. The coefficient of static friction
between the floor and the ladder is µ = 0.878, and the
coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the ladder is
Mk = 0.426. The wall exerts a force P 186. N on the top of the
ladder. If we use the point of contact between the ladder and the
floor as our pivot point, what is the magnitude and direction of the
torque caused by the wall acting on the ladder?

A uniform beam has a length of 15.2 m and a mass of 37.3 kg. The beam is horizontal and resting (in equilibrium) on two supports. One of the supports is located 4.09m to the right of the beam's center of mass. The second support is located 1.96 m to the left of the beam's center of mass. How much upward force is exerted on the beam by the first support?
