A 6-m long ladder has a mass of 13 kg, and its center of gravity is 2.4 m from the bottom along the ladder. The ladder is resting on a 5° upward sloping floor at A and on a wall inclined to the right at 5° from the vertical at B, so that it makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal. How far up along the ladder can a 78-kg man climb before the ladder is on the verge of slipping? The angle of friction at all contact surfaces is 15°. Also determine the total reaction at A and B in Newton. Note: Point A is at the left of point B.
