1) A ladder leans against a wall as shown below. A hammer is placed on one of the rungs (you can assume the hammer is pointlike). The ladder feels a force of friction from the ground, but there is no friction between the ladder and the wall.

The length of the ladder is 20 ft

 The mass of the ladder 40

 The inclination of the ladder 35

 The height of the hammer 10

 The mass of the hammer 25

(a) Write the torque balance

(b) Determine the coefficient of friction between the ground and the ladder.
