$A$ ladder rests against a frictionless vertical wall,with its upper end $6 \, m$ above the ground and the lower end $4 \, m$ away from the wall. The weight of the ladder is $500 \, N$ and its center of gravity ($C$.$G$.) is at $1/3$ of its length from the lower end. The reaction force from the wall will be (in Newton):

  • A
    $111$
  • B
    $333$
  • C
    $222$
  • D
    $129$

$A$ particle is situated at the origin of a coordinate system. The following forces begin to act on the particle simultaneously (assuming the particle is initially at rest):
$\vec{F}_1 = 5\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}$
$\vec{F}_2 = 2\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}$
$\vec{F}_3 = -6\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - 7\hat{k}$
$\vec{F}_4 = -\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} - 2\hat{k}$
Then the particle will move:
