A 2.0 m long, 200 N uniform ladder, rests with one end against a smooth wall making an angle of 30° with thewall. The coefficient of static friction between the ground and the lower end of the ladder is 0.5. A force Fpushes the upper end of the ladder parallel to the wall so that the ladder is on the verge of starting to slipdown (static friction has reached its maximum value). The torque of the weight of the ladder relative to thelower end in the ground is:a. 200 Nmb. 620 NmC.546 Nmd.400 Nme. None of the aboveI
