Question
A 150-N ladder leans against a smooth wall, inclined at an angle of 60 degrees above the floor. The centre of gravity of the ladder is at point on the ladder which is one-third the length of the ladder from the bottom. How large a horizontal force must the floor provide if the ladder is not to slip?

Could you show me how you started it and maybe I can try to follow what you're doing?
