A 2.4 m ladder rests on a vertical wall as shown in the figure. The ladder has 7 rungs and the rungs are spaced 0.30 m apart, and the top and bottom rungs are 0.30 m from their respective ends of the ladder. Surfaces at A and B both have the same coefficient of friction. If a worker weighs 360 N and stands on the middle rung, determine the minimum value of the coefficient of friction so that the ladder does not slide. Neglect the weight of the ladder.
One end of a regular ladder rests on the ground and the other end on a vertical wall. If the coefficients of friction for the two ends of the scale are 0.6 (and 0.3)), respectively.
