A straight ladder is leaning against the wall of a house. The ladder has rails 4.90 m long, joined
by rungs 0.410 m long. Its bottom end is on solid but sloping ground so that the top of the ladder
is 0.690 m to the left of where it should be, and the ladder is unsafe to climb. You want to put a
flat rock under one foot of the ladder to compensate for the slope of the ground. What should be
the thickness of the rock?

The ladder just overhangs a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to be frictionless, so the force from the gutter on the ladder acts perpendicularly to the ladder. As a result, the top of the ladder experiences a normal force at an angle, while the bottom of the ladder experiences both a vertical normal force and a horizontal friction force.
