Equilibrium: In the figure, a uniform ladder 12 meters long rests against a vertical frictionless wall. The ladder weighs 480 N and makes an angle 0 of 80° with the floor. A man weighing 800 N climbs slowly up the ladder When he has climbed to a point that is 7.8 m from the base of the ladder, the ladder starts to slip. What is the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the ladder? 7.8 m
