Best Answer

When a person climbs a ladder, his muscles provide the energy (work) to raise

the person's weight from the ground to the top of the ladder.

When the person climbs a ladder carrying a load in addition to his body, his muscles

provide the energy (work) to raise his weight from the ground to the top of the ladder,

plus the additional energy (work) to raise the load from the ground to the top of the

ladder.

The more weight goes up the ladder, the more work is done. Of that you can be positive.

Why bamboo ladder is broad from the bottom in comparison to its top?

The broad base of a bamboo ladder helps in maintaining the stability of the ladder, when a person climbs on it. It can be understood in this way that, a small displacement by a person at the top can cause the ladder to swing to a larger extent. The swing will be directly proportional to the length of the ladder. The bottom line is that, the broad base of the ladder will help to maintain the center of gravity, and hence will provide added safety to the system.
