The Ladder interactive is designed for users to examine the conditions necessary for static equilibrium of an object, in this case a ladder leaning against a building. Play with the coefficient of static friction and the initial angle to see the impact on torque and force. Be careful to avoid injury from a nasty ladder accident.
