A ladder is resting on a rough ground and leaning against a smooth vertical wall the force of friction will act
Answers
Answer:
The force of friction will be towards the wall and acting between the foot of leader and surface of ground
Explanation:
Since the weight of leader is acting downward and leader must making any angle with wall thats way all the force of weight does not nullify with the normal reaction of ground and due to which a force is acts on leader which try to move the leader towards the direction opposite to wall.
BUT
If the leader does not moving toward the opposite direction of wall it means that an other force (force of friction) acting on it towards the wall which is actually force of friction between foot of leader and surface of ground.
So
The force of friction will be towards the wall and acting between the foot of leader and surface of ground .
