Hi -

Curious as to whether your experts' opinion matches my own answer ?

Many thanks

A ladder of length 2L and mass M is positioned on level ground leaning against a wall such that the between the ladder and the horizontal is x. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the wall and between the ladder and and the ground is ystatic = 0.66. The centre of mass of the ladder is halfway along it.

What [5 ?] forces are acting on the ladder and what do they represent ?
