One end (A) of a thin rod rests on a floor, with coefficient of static friction μs. The other end (B) of the rod leans against a frictionless wall. The rod has a length of L and a mass of m. The rod has a uniform density, so the center-of-mass is a distance L/2 from either end. The rod does not move.
