A solvable leaning ladder problem

Abstract Measurements are presented on the vertical force at the bottom end of a leaning metal ruler. The force can be calculated directly if the upper end of the ruler is supported by a length of string, unlike the usual leaning ladder problem.

Abstract

Abstract Measurements are presented on the vertical force at the bottom end of a leaning metal ruler. The force can be calculated directly if the upper end of the ruler is supported by a length of string, unlike the usual leaning ladder problem.
