A uniform ladder 5.0 m long and of mass 12 kg leans against a smooth vertical wall, making an angle of \(60^{\circ}\) with the ground. The ground is rough, providing a coefficient of static friction \(\mu_s\) between the ladder and the floor. A person of mass 60 kg stands 2.0 m up the ladder from the base. Determine the minimum value of \(\mu_s\) required to keep the ladder from slipping.
