A uniform ladder of length 10 m and mass 6 kg is resting against a vertical wall making an angle of 37? with the ground. The vertical wall is frictionless but the ground is rough with µs = 0.75. An electrician weighing W kg climbs up the ladder to a point 8 m from the lower end, measured along the length of the ladder. Calculate the maximum weight Wmax of the electrician who can work from this without the ladder setup collapsing.
