tan (theta)= (2*u_s)/(1-u_s^2)
,solve for u_s
A stick of length l =70.0cm rests against the wall. The coefficient of static friction between stick and wall and between the stick and the floor are equal. The stick will slip off the wall if placed at an angle greater than theta = 41 degrees. What is the the coefficient of static friction between the stick and the wall and the floor? Thanks.

Hi, koala. I am having trouble solving for u_s. So far,
tan(theta) = 2*(u_s)/(1-u_s)*(u_s+1)
u_s=?
tan(theta) = 2*(u_s)/(1-u_s)*(u_s+1)
u_s=?
