Any time you have to climb a ladder, you want the ladder to remain in static equilibrium. At what angle should a 60-kg painter place his ladder against the wall in order to climb two-thirds of the way up the ladder and have the ladder remain in static equilibrium? The ladder's mass is 10 kg and its length is 6.0 m. The exterior wall of the house is very smooth, meaning that it exerts a negligible friction force on the ladder. The coefficient of static friction between the floor and the ladder is 0.50.
