A 15-kg uniform ladder 3.50 m long is placed against a smooth vertical wall. The ladder's base rests on a rough horizontal floor 2 m from the wall, with a coefficient of static friction equal to 0.800. An 80.0-kg bucket of concrete is suspended from the top rung of the ladder, right next to the wall. What is the magnitude and direction of the floor's force on the ladder?
