Q243

A ladder of weight 'w' rests against a smooth vertical wall and rests on rough horizontal ground, the coefficient of friction between the ladder and the ground being 1/4 . The maximum angle of inclination of the ladder to the vertical, if a man of weight 'w' is to walk to the top of it safely, is tan-1x, where x is
