A 40-kg uniform ladder that is 5.0 m long is placed against a smooth wall at a height of h = 4.0 m, as shown in the figure. The base of the ladder rests on a rough horizontal surface whose coefficient of static friction with the ladder is 0.70. An 80-kg bucket is suspended from the top rung of the ladder, just at the wall. What is the magnitude of the force that the ladder exerts on the wall?

i don't know that i agree with that but what's the question ?

a straight line sloped

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.

that the claims meet official rules.

don't misinterpret the claims
