Coefficient of static friction between the ladder

Reference no: EM13544734

An 9.0 m, 240 N uniform ladder rests against a smooth wall. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is 0.60, and the ladder makes a 50.0° angle with the ground. How far up the ladder can an 880 N person climb before the ladder begins to slip?
