The figure shows a uniform ladder L = 3.2 m long with mass M = 16 kg leaning against a frictionless wall. The ladder's base is D=1.2 m from the wall when a grinning oddball with mass m = 64 kg steps on and slowly climbs the ladder. When the oddball reaches a distance a d=2.3 m from the ladder's base, the ladder starts to slip. Calculate the coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the floor. M L m -D
