Compute the magnitude of frictional force exerted on ladder

Reference no: EM13546517

A uniform ladder 10.0 m long is leaning against a frictionless wall at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal. The weight of the ladder is 21.6 lb. A 62.0-lb boy climbs 3.74 m up the ladder. What is the magnitude of the frictional force exerted on the ladder by the floor?
