A 5.5 m long ladder with a mass of 10.0 kg is leaning against a wall at a dangerously large angle of 35° (between the ladder and the wall). The coefficient of static friction between the base of the ladder and the floor is 0.50 and the top of the ladder has wheels so there is negligible friction between the ladder and the wall. How far up along the ladder can a 65.0 kg painter climb before the ladder slips?
