A uniform ladder 5.5 m long with a mass of 25 kg leans with its upper end against a smooth vertical wall. Its lower end rests on rough ground. The ladder is in equilibrium when its bottom end is 3.2 m from the wall and its top end rests against the wall.

Sketch a diagram to represent the arrangement described in the scenario above showing ALL the forces acting and ALL the distances described.
