I get that but the ladder becomes increasingly more difficult to raise as the individual gets closer to the fulcrum until the center of gravity is in equilibrium
Based on the image can you provide some samples of how the formula should look.
1) If the moment of force is half way up the ladder at 10' and the individual is applying force at a height of 6' his feet would be 8' from the fulcrum with an angle at 37 degrees.
2) What would it then look like...

I am trying to find a formula to determine effort to raise a ladder based on the angle of the ladder at a given time. I am concerned mostly about the angle so I can plug in an individuals height and distance toward the fulcrum. I am assuming the ladder will not slide at the footing. I included a...
