Equilibrium: A 3.00-m-long ladder, weighing 200 N, leans against a smooth vertical wall with its base on a horizontal rough floor, a distance of 1.00 m away from the wall. The ladder is not completely uniform, so its center of gravity is 1.20 m from its base. What force of friction must the floor exert on the base of the ladder to prevent the ladder from sliding down?

A. 93.3 N B. 130 N C. 28.3 N D. 102 N E. 150 N
