1. One end of a uniform meterstick is placed against a vertical wall. The other end is held by a lightweight cord that makes an angle o with the stick. The coefficient of static friction between the end of the meter stick and the wall is Me = 0.400 a. What is the minimum value the can have if the stick is to remain in equilibrium?
