Three painters attempted to lift an aluminum ladder that extended 25 feet in length and weighed 75 pounds. If one of the painters served to anchor one end of the ladder to the ground while the other two lifted the other end of the ladder at a point 10 feet from the anchorman, how much resistance would the ladder present to the two doing the actual lifting?
