MCQ Solution: Laws of Motion
A uniform ladder in static equilibrium leans against a frictionless wall. The ladder has length L and mass M. Given that the angle between the ladder and floor is 30o degrees, what would be the value of the coefficient of static friction (µs) between the ladder and the ground?
1) µs ≥ 1/ Ö3
2) µs ≥ 2/ Ö3
3) µs ≥ Ö3 / 2
4) µs ≥ 1/ 2
