I come to the floor now.
-
The floor is exerting a force N,
-
standard name for normal or perpendicular.
-
Then, it's exerting a frictional force f, which will be inward.
-
Because the ladder is trying to slide out,
-
you will apply a static frictional force inward
-
to keep it from moving.
-
That's it. These are the forces,
-
and subject to these forces.
-
We have to write down all the conditions.
-
This angle is θ here.

For the x motion, the fact that all the--
