A 4 m long ladder weighing 25 kg rests with its upper end against a smooth wall and lower end on rough ground. What should be the minimum coefficient of friction between the ground and the ladder for it to be inclined at 60∘60^\circ with the horizontal without slipping? (Take g=10 m/s2g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2 ).
