Determine the coefficient of static friction between the friction pad at A and ground if the inclination of the ladder is 0 =60° and the wall at B is smooth when the 82-kg man climbs up the leader and stops at the position shown after he senses that the leader is on the verge of slipping. The center of gravity for the man is at G. Neglect the weight of the leader.
