A uniform ladder has length L = 9.0 m and weighs 250 N. The ladder rests against a smooth vertical wall, as shown in the figure. The angle between the ladder and the rough floor is 0 = 50 degrees. Find the minimum coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the floor that prevents the ladder from slipping. Do NOT use significant figure rules in your calculations! Give your final answer NUMERICALLY with at least two digits after the decimal point when appropriate. Take g=10 m/s. Hs = 0.2 Your last answer was interpreted as follows: too Floor 0.2 Ladder L A uniform ladder has length L = 9.0 m and weighs 250 N.
