FIGURE 1 shows a uniform ladder PQ of weight 240 N leans on a smooth wall and resting on a rough floor with a minimum inclination angle θmin. The coefficient of friction between the ladder and floor is 0.25. (i) With the aid of a force diagram, calculate the forces acting on the ladder at point P and point Q.(ii) Determine the value of θmin.
