Question: 1 2 . 3 . A 2 0 0 - lb history buff climbs up a 1 0 0 - 1 b , 1 0

12.3. A 200-lb history buff climbs up a 100-1b,10.0-ft ladder to recreate the Lindbergh kidnapping for curious onlookers. The ladder makes a 53.13\deg angle with the ground on which there is a coefficient of static friction of 0.500, while the other end rests on a smooth wall. (a) Find the frictional force when he has climbed up a distance 2 feet (measured along the ladder).(b) Find the maximum distance he can go up the ladder before his demonstration ends abruptly.
