In figure, a ladder of mass m is shown leaning against a wall. It is in static equilibrium making an angle θ with the horizontal floor. The coefficient of friction between the wall and the ladder is μ1 and that between the floor and the ladder isμ2. The normal reaction of the wall on the ladder is N1 and that of the floor is N2. If the ladder is about toslip, then
