A uniform ladder of length \(L\) and weight \(W = 50\,\text{N}\) rests against a smooth vertical wall. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is \(\mu = 0.4\).(a) Draw an FBD indicating all the forces acting on the ladder. , (b) Find the minimum angle \(\theta\) such that the ladder does not slip. :

\(\boxed{\theta_{\min}\approx 51.3^\circ}\)
