Description: I'll solve the classic slipping ladder statics problem, but where the angle of the ladder is not known. We do know the coefficients of friction and the masses of the ladder and the zombie, though, so that's awesome. And we know how far up the zombie has gotten when the ladder begins to slip (the children on the second floor are safe). Whether this is the type of problem you need to do or not, it may help to pause the video before each equation I write down, and try to work it out yourself. If you're totally stumped, rework the problem without me once you see my process. Get 'em.
