A 70 kg construction worker climbs up a ladder up to the position shown in the Figure 3. The center of gravity for the worker is denoted as G. The contact between the wall and the ladder at B is smooth and the static friction coefficient, µs is 0.3. By considering the wight of the ladder is 10kg, with reasonable assumption, evaluate what would be the minimum distance of x so that the ladder would not slip?
