A ladder rests on the floor of a room, leaning agains a wall. If the coefficient of static friction between the ladder the floor is `mu_(f)` and that between ladder and is `mu_(w)`, what is the minimum angle `theta` that the ladder can make with the floor if the ladder is not to slip? Assume that the mass of the ladder is distributed uniformly.
