$A$ ladder rests against a vertical wall at an inclination $\alpha$ to the horizontal. Its foot is pulled away from the wall through a distance $p$ so that its upper end slides a distance $q$ down the wall and then the ladder makes an angle $\beta$ to the horizontal.
Show that $\frac{p}{q}=\frac{\cos \beta-\cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha-\sin \beta}$
