The one at the bottom, package 1 which has mass m1m1, continues, without slipping against the belt, through the opening. (The belt continues without slowing.) The one on the the top, package 2 with mass m2m2, presses firmly against the wall and slips across the lower package. The same coefficients of friction, μsμs and μkμk, apply between the pair of packages and between the package and the belt.

The bottom of the ladder rests on the ground and the coefficient of friction between the ladder and the ground is 0.3. A person of mass 75 kg climbs the ladder, which has a mass of 4 kg. The bottom of the ladder is at the point of slipping, outward from the wall, just as the person reaches the mid-point of the ladder’s length.
