In a scenario where the angle of applied force is not 90 degree to the lever arm, consider the following as a practical safety application of rotational equilibrium: a ladder (5m long, weighting 200N) rests on a wall the ladder is tilted such that its center of mass is 3m vertically above the ground. There is no friction on the wall, but there is a coefficient of static friction along of the ground of 0.3. How far along the ladder can a 750N person safely climb above the ground and how high vertically above the ground would this person be?
