The torque, or moment, that the gravitational force has about the points where the ladder contacts the ground and wall are taken into account when summing the moments about those points and setting them to zero for static equilibrium. The locations where the ladder contacts the wall and floor offer no moment reaction (like a hinge support on a simply supported beam has no moment reaction). | |
