If the electrician works safetly, the ladder `+` man system should be in equilibrium
For equilibrium `SigmaF=0` and `Sigmatau=0`
for `SigmaF_(x)=0, N_(a)=f`
for `SigmaF_(Y)=0, N_(B)=mg+Mg=60xx10+16xx1=760N`
Taking torque about `B`,
`N_(A)10 cos 37^@=mg8sin37^@+Mg5sin37^@`
`N_(A)=(tan37^@)/10(65xx10xx8+16xx10xx5)`
From i `f=N_A=420N`
For maximum value of coefficient of friction.
`flemuN_(B)`
`mugef/N_(B)=420/760=0.55`
