Maximizing Ladder Stability: Understanding the Principle of Moments

[QUOTE="TheRealSJ, post: 6832356, member: 731714"] Ok well "I have no clue" may have been a slight exaggeration but I'm not sure if my initial steps were in the right direction. What I did was: M40 (M=moment) + Rw (reaction force of wall) = M100, as counter clockwise sum of moments = clockwise sum of moments but then I have no known angle to find the perpendicular distance from the pivot (which in this scenario I made the corner of the floor and wall) , apart from the axiomatic 90 degree formed with wall and floor, so I don't know what to do next?
