A uniform ladder with mass \( m_2 \) and length \( L \) rests against a smooth wall. A do-it-yourself enthusiast of mass \( m_1 \) stands on the ladder a distance \( d \) from the bottom (measured along the ladder). The ladder makes an angle \( \theta \) with the ground. There is no friction between the wall and the ladder, but there is a frictional force of magnitude \( f \) between the floor and the ladder. \( N_1 \) is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the wall on the ladder, and \( N_2 \) is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the ground on the ladder. Throughout the problem, consider counterclockwise torques to be positive.

3 clay balls, labeled A, B, and C are launched from the same height at the same speed as shown above. A is launched at \( 30^\circ \) above horizontal, B is launched horizontally, and C is launched \( 30^\circ \) below the horizontal. They all hit the wall (before reaching the ground) in times \( t_A \), \( t_B \), and \( t_C \) respectively. Rank these times from least to greatest.
