Monocoque
The most common form of chassis construction for passenger cars and, ever more so, 4WD cars. Monocoque is French for "Single Shell" and unlike a ladder frame, where the chassis and body are separate for high strength, monococques are specifically designed to crumple in the event of a collision and absorb energy, protecting the occupants from the full force of the crash.

There are several types of chassis, primarily categorized into three main types: ladder chassis, monocoque chassis, and backbone chassis. Ladder chassis consist of two parallel beams connected by cross members, offering strength and rigidity. Monocoque chassis integrate the body and frame into a single structure, enhancing aerodynamics and reducing weight. Backbone chassis feature a central tubular structure that supports the vehicle's components, providing a balance between strength and weight efficiency.
Monocoque vs ladder chassis or unibody vs body on frame respectively. These are the two main types of vehicle chassis. The chassis is the frame or skeleton of the vehicle and here are the two most popular types.Monocoque or Unibody are the terms used to indicate when the body of the vehicle is designed and built to support the weight of the vehicle and any other function of a chassis. This is achieved by strengthening the floor of the vehicle, the pillars and using bracing along various parts of the body.Ladder Chassis or Body over Frame are the terms used when the body of a vehicle is mounted to a separate frame or chassis. This frame is similar to a ladder in design as two long pieces of steel (approximately the length of the vehicle) are held parallel to each other by shorter pieces running across.Either chassis should perform the following functions at least at a workable level.Unibody, body on frame or any type of chassis has to strike a balance between weight/materials used, intended function, vehicle design and cost but the type of chassis used will have certain benefits and ultimately determine the function and character of the vehicle.Performance - The monocoque is a lighter design which is a plus for fuel efficiency, it has more torsional stiffness and is by far the better chassis for performance oriented vehicle. The heavy nature of the ladder chassis makes it tough and it is much better than the monocoque for carrying heavy loads and towing heavier objects.Design - A unibody bodyshell is difficult to design, build and modify (platform sharing) when compared to the body on frame but computer assisted design (CAD) has greatly reduced this advantage. Another body can be placed on a ladder chassis but changes have to be made to major parts of the vehicle.Materials - Unitary bodyshells can be made from a variety of materials steel and steel alloys, aluminium and aluminium alloys and even carbon fiber or combinations of these materials whereas ladder chassis are usually built from steel.Other Benefits - It is much easier to incorporate crumple zones into a vehicle with a monocoque bodyshell but a vehicle with a ladder chassis is much easier to repair after an accident.Monocoque chassis are used in most vehicle types and is more suited for everyday, luxury and sport oriented vehicles but the ladder chassis is better suited for commercial and heavy duty work. Debating on monocoque vs ladder chassis will come down to the intended function of the vehicle.
There are several types of frames used in chassis design, including: Ladder Frame: Resembles a ladder and consists of two long beams connected by crossbars, commonly used in trucks and SUVs for strength. Monocoque Frame: Also known as a unibody, this design integrates the body and chassis into a single unit, providing lightweight and improved crash safety, often seen in modern cars. Space Frame: Composed of interconnected tubes or beams, this design offers high rigidity and low weight, frequently used in high-performance vehicles and racing cars.
The difference is that a separate body chassis consists of the vehicle body and a separate frame which the body is bolted to (sometimes referred to as ladder frame). The integral chassis consists of a single body/frame unit, there is no separating them, they are one part (often referred to as unibody construction).
No. if the floor is smooth you must have friction between the ladder and the floor, or the ladder would just slide away. Technically you could do without friction between wall and ladder, but even that can be helpful in preventing the ladder from going sideways.
The 2011 Toyota Hilux uses a ladder-frame chassis, which is designed for durability and strength, making it suitable for off-road conditions and heavy loads. This type of chassis provides a robust structure that supports the vehicle’s performance in various driving environments, including rugged terrains. The Hilux is known for its reliability and versatility, attributes that are enhanced by this chassis design.

Jacobs ladder is a staircase that went to heaven in Jacob's dream. Many believe that the ladder represents the essence of Islam.
That probably refers to the ratio between the length of the ladder, and the distance at which you place the bottom part of the ladder from the wall. If this distance is too short, you have the risk of the ladder falling backwards.
If the angle between the ladder and the ground is 60 deg, and you know the angle between the ground and the wall is 90 deg, then you have a 30-60-90 degree triangle, which is a common triangle. You should memorize this one. The commonest sides of this right triangle are 4-5-6, with the longest side being the hypoteneuse, in this case the ladder leaning from the ground to the wall. The wall is 4m high, the base of the ladder would be 5m out from the wall, and the length of the ladder is 6m.
this is a tone ladder. This helpful when teaching music to children, because then they can use the ladder to see that there is a semitone or half step between mi and fa, as well as ti and do.
