A ladder of mass 30 kg and length 5 m is kept leaning against a vertical smooth wall. A man of mass 60 kg climbed up (3)/(4) th the length of the ladder. If the coefficient of friction between the floor and the ladder is 0.5, what should be the maximum distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall to avoid slipping?
