Determine the smallest angle the ladder can make

Reference no: EM13502863

A uniform ladder of length L and weight w is leaning against a vertical wall. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the floor is the same as that between the ladder and the wall. If this coefficient of static friction is µs = 0.425, determine the smallest angle the ladder can make with the floor without slipping.
