A uniform ladder of weight 850 N and length 6 m rests on a horizontal ground and leans against a smooth vertical wall. The angle made by ladder with horizontal is 65°, when a man of weight 750 N stands on ladder at a distance 4 m from top of ladder. The ladder is at point of sliding. Determine the coefficient of friction between ladder and the floor.
