Answer:
Explanation:
a )
Reaction force of the ground
R = mg
= 160 N
Maximum friction force possible
= μ x R
= μ x 160
= .4 x 160
= 64 N .
b )
160 N will act at middle point . 740N will act at distance of 3 / 5 m from the wall ,
Taking moment about top point of ladder
160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3/5 + f x 4 = 900 x 3
240 + 444 + 4f = 2700
f = 504 N
c )
Let x be the required distance.
Taking moment about top point of ladder
160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3 x / 5 + .4 x 900 x 4 = 900 x 3 ( .4 x 900 is the maximum friction possible )
240 + 444 x + 1440 = 2700
x = 2.3 m
so man can go upto 2.3 at which maximum friction acts .
