A 15 Foot Ladder Is Resting Against A Wall. Find the height to which the ladder will reach on the wall. What is the vertical distance from the top of the ladder to the ground in exact form?
forces > moments uniform ladder rests against vertical wall where there is negligible friction.
A ladder rests against a vertical wall at inclination `alpha` to the horizontal. The base of the ladder slips 1 foot away from the wall. If the ladder is 17 feet in length, and it is leaning against the wall with the feet of the ladder. The floor is smooth, the wall is rough.
