Question

I need detailed help solving this exercise from homework of Applied Mechanics.
I do not really understand how to do, please do it step by step, not that long but clear. Thank you!

Problem 3
A ladder supports the 80-kg man in the position as shown in Fig. 3. The surface is rather slippery,
where the coefficient of static friction at A and B is μs = 0.25. Fortunately, an invisible guy helps hold
the ladder BC, providing a couple moment shown in the figure.
(a) Draw the free body diagram of AC and BC, respectively.
(b) Determine the greatest angle 0 so that the ladder does not slip under this condition. Start by
assuming the ladder slips at A.
