Applied Mechanics and Graphic Statics
A ladder of weight 'w' rests against a smooth vertical wall, and rests on rough horizontal ground, the coefficient of friction between the ladder and the ground being 1/4. The maximum angle of inclination of the ladder to the vertical, if a man of weight 'w' is to walk to the top of it safely, is tan'1 x, where x is

Applied Mechanics and Graphic Statics
The following is not a law of static friction:

The force of friction depends upon the roughness of the surface
The force of friction always acts in a direction opposite to that in which the body tends to move
The magnitude of the limiting friction bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction between two surfaces
The force of friction is dependent upon the area of contact
