A 11.5-kg monkey climbs a uniform ladder with weight w = 1.07 x 102 N and a length L = 2.50 m as shown in the figure below. The
ladder rests against the wall and makes an angle of 8 = 60.0° with the ground. The upper and lower ends of the ladder rest on
frictionless surfaces. The lower end is connected to the wall by a horizontal rope that is frayed and can support a maximum tension of
only 80.0 N. Find the maximum distance d (along the ladder) that the monkey can climb up the ladder before the rope breaks.
