As shown in the figure,the two sides of a step ladder $BA$ and $CA$ are $1.6 \; m$ long and hinged at $A$. $A$ rope $DE$ of length $0.5 \; m$ is tied halfway up. $A$ weight of $40 \; kg$ is suspended from a point $F$,$1.2 \; m$ from $B$ along the ladder $BA$. Assuming the floor to be frictionless and neglecting the weight of the ladder,find the tension in the rope and the forces exerted by the floor on the ladder. (Take $g = 9.8 \; m/s^2$)
