Question: Determine the minimum coefficient of static friction between the 4 m ladder and the ground such that the ladder will not slip at its lower

Determine the minimum coefficient of static friction between the 4 m ladder and the ground such that the ladder will not slip at its lower end A. The 44.1 kg painter stands at a distances =3.23 m from the bottom end of the ladder. The top of the 11.2 kg ladder has a small roller. Assume
(1) The mass centre of the painter to be directly above her feet,
(2) There is no friction between the small roller on top of the ladder and the wall.
