B 2. A 2.4 m ladder rests on a vertical wall as shown in the figure. The ladder has seven rungs and the rungs are spaced 0.30 m apart, and the top and bottom rungs are 0.30 m from their respective ends of the ladder. Surfaces at A and B both have the same coefficient of friction. If a worker weighs 630 N and stands on the middle rung, determine the minimum value of the coefficient of friction so that the ladder does not slide. Neglect the weight of the ladder. 10=60° A
