The ladder (weighing 412 N) is at an angle of 53 degrees relative to the floor and it’s 4.8 m long. The plant 2.32 kg, is hung 1.2 m up from the base of the ladder. Assume the fall is frictionless but the floor is not; static friction is keeping the ladder from sliding.
a) Calculate the normal force of the floor on the foot of the ladder
b) What is the normal force of the wall on the top of the ladder?
c) What is the static friction coefficient between the ladder and the floor?
