$A$ uniform wooden stick of mass $1.6 \,kg$ and length $l$ rests in an inclined manner on a smooth, vertical wall of height $h$ < $l$ such that a small portion of the stick extends beyond the wall. The reaction force of the wall on the stick is perpendicular to the stick. The stick makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the wall and the bottom of the stick is on a rough floor. The reaction of the wall on the stick is equal in magnitude to the reaction of the floor on the stick. Find the ratio $h/l$ and the frictional force $f$ at the bottom of the stick. $(g=10 \,m \,s^{-2})$
