A 5 Meter Ladder Leans Against A Wall. When the ladder rests of the wall, it forms the hypotenuse of a triangle whereas the wall and the ground horizontal. How fast is the angle θ between the ground and the ladder changing when the bottom of the ladder is is 3 meters from the wall?
The foot of the ladder is pulled away from the wall at the rate of 0.4 m/sec.
The 13 ft was meant to say that the ladder stacked against a wall, was 13 ft tall. How fast does the top of the ladder move? The bottom of the ladder is 1.5 meters from the wall at time t = 0 and slides away from the wall at a rate of 0.8 m/s. 4 a 5 meter ladder leans against a wall.
