Answer:

\mu = \frac{1}{2tan\theta}

Explanation:

let the ladder is of mass "m" and standing at an angle with the ground

So here by horizontal force balance we will have

\mu N_1 = N_2

by vertical force balance we have

N_1 = mg

now by torque balance about contact point on ground we will have

mg(\frac{L}{2}cos\theta) = N_2(L sin\theta)

so we will have

N_2 = \frac{mg}{2tan\theta}

now from first equation we have

\mu (mg) = \frac{mg}{2tan\theta}

\mu = \frac{1}{2tan\theta}
