A uniform ladder of mass M = 10.0 kg and length L =2.00 m is leaning against a wall as shown below. The angle 0 made by the ladder to the horizontal is 50°. The friction between the ladder and the vertical wall is negligible. Assuming that the bottom of the ladder is on the verge of slipping against the ground, calculate the coefficient of static friction between the ground and the ladder. ladde
