A boy presses his thumb along a vertical rod that rests on a rough horizontal surface. Then he gradually tilts the rod, keeping the component of the force along the rod constant, which is applied to its end. When the tilt angle of the rod to the horizontal is $\alpha=80^{\circ}$, the rod begins to slide on the surface. Determine the coefficient of friction between the surface and the rod if, in the vertical position, the normal force is 11 times the gravitational force acting on the rod. Round your answer to two decimal places.
