Consider a ladder, resting on uneven ground, propped against a smooth wall as shown. It is: 1. Statically determinate 2. Statically indeterminate Consider a ladder, resting on uneven ground, propped against a rough wall as shown. It is: 1. Statically determinate 2. Statically indeterminate A 'symmetrical roof truss' is supported on two pin joints and subject to a vertical centre load as shown.

Step 1
The ladder is statically determinate because it is supported by two pins and it does not move when the weight is applied to it. Show more…

A uniform ladder of length L rests against a smooth, vertical wall. If the mass of the ladder is m and the coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is μs = 0.40, find the minimum angle θmin at which the ladder does not slip.
Pranay S.
A uniform ladder of mass and length leans at an angle against a frictionless wall. If the coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is μ, determine a formula for the minimum angle at which the ladder will not slip. Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables g (gravity), μ, and θ.
