10.)A ladder, whose length is 10 m and whose mass is 40 kg rests against a frictionless vertical wall. Its upper end is a distance of 7.7 m above the ground. The center of mass of the ladder is 3 1 of the way up the ladder. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is 0.53. If a carpenter climbs 85% of the way up the ladder before it starts to slip, find the mass of the carpenter. Show the Free body diagram of your work. Write it on the paper and do not type it
