A person of 20 kg climbs up a uniform ladder having negligible mass. The upper end of the ladder rests on the frictionless wall. The bottom of ladder rests on the floor having a rough surface where the coefficient of static friction is around 0.24. The angle between the horizontal and the ladder is around 60?
Determine the person attempts to climb the ladder, determine how far up the ladder will the person arrive at before the ladder slips (kaboom)? The acceleration of gravity is around 9.8 m/s^2.
