A painter wishes to know whether or not he can safely stand on aladder. The ladder has a mass Mladder = 14 kg which isuniformly distributed throughout its length L = 8.0 m. The ladderis propped up at an angle theta = 60o. The coefficientof static friction between the ground and the ladderis μs = 0.33, and the wall against which the ladder isresting is frictionless.
A) Calculate the maximum mass of the painter for which theladder will remain stable when he climbs a distance d = 4.8 m upthe ladder.
B) If the painter does not stand on the ladder, what is theminimum angle theta for which the ladder will remain stable?
