Question

Transcribed Image Text:You are leaning your 8.0 ft, 18.0 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 μs = 0.600. 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
