A tapered ladder, (length = 10.5 m and mass = 18.5 kgs) whose center of gravity is 1/3 from its foot, leans against a rough vertical wall. The foot o the ladder is 6.25 m away from the wall. A 60-kg man is standing 2.5 meter from the top of the ladder. If the coefficient of friction between the wall and the ladder is 0.35, determine a) the coefficient of friction between the floor and the ladder, b) reaction components and the resultant reaction (magnitude & direction) at both ends.

Question
Kindly show the FREE BODY DIAGRAM and include the derivation of Summation X and Y (if possible). Always equate the equation to zero since it's equilibrium. Thanks in advance
A tapered ladder, (length = 10.5 m and mass = 18.5 kgs) whose center of
gravity is 1/3 from its foot, leans against a rough vertical wall. The foot of
the ladder is 6.25 m away from the wall. A 60-kg man is standing 2.5
meter from the top of the ladder. If the coefficient of friction between
the wall and the ladder is 0.35, determine a) the coefficient of friction
between the floor and the ladder, b) reaction components and the
resultant reaction (magnitude & direction) at both ends.
