A ladder is leaning against a vertical wall, and both ends of the ladder are at the point of slipping. The coefficient of fricti
on between the ladder and the horizontal surface is μ1 = 0.195 and the coefficient of friction between the ladder and the wall is μ2 = 0.253. Determine the maximum angle with the vertical the ladder can make without falling on the ground.

Answer:
Final velocity, v = 0.28 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the model,
Speed of the model,
Mass of another model,
Initial speed of another model,
To find,
Final velocity
Solution,
Let V is the final velocity. As both being soft clay, they naturally stick together. It is a case of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum to find it as :
V = 0.28 m/s
So, their final velocity is 0.28 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
