Asked by Jeff Kinka
A uniform ladder of mass (m = 14.5 kg) and length (L) leans against a frictionless wall, see figure. Find the static friction force between the ladder and the floor if the angle θ = 64.0°?

consider the point where the ladder meets the wall. Sum moments about that point.
mg*1/2 *L*cos64-mu*mg*L sin64=0
solve for mu. Notice the weight of the ladder mg divides out, as does length L.
mg*1/2 *L*cos64-mu*mg*L sin64=0
solve for mu. Notice the weight of the ladder mg divides out, as does length L.
