You are leaning your 6.5 ft, 16.5 lb ladder against the wall in your garage. There are 2 rubber foot paddles on the bottom of the ladder, and your garage floor is concrete. The static friction between the rubber and concrete is μ = 0.530. What is the maximum distance from the wall to the rubber foot paddles, which you can lean your ladder without it slipping? Assume the wall is smooth. The maximum distance = ft
