A man weighing 400N climbs up a ladder 5 meters long. The ladder initially rests against a frictionless vertical wall and is at 58° above a rough floor with static friction coefficient of 0.25. determine the location of the man that will cause the ladder to slide down. What is the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the ladder at the floor? Find: location of man from the bottom of the ladder that will cause sliding magnitude of force acting on wall direction of force acting on ladder magnitude of force acting on the ladder
