A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh

s 160 N. The coefficient of static friction between the foot of the ladder and the ground is 0.40. A man weighing 740 N climbs slowly up the ladder. (a) What is the maximum friction force that the ground can exert on the ladder at its lower end? (b) What is the actual friction force when the man has climbed 1.0 m along the ladder? (c) How far along the ladder can the man climb before the ladder starts to slip?

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 .

PLEASE HELP!! WILL GIVE POINTS
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

49 kg is the mass of the couch.

Explanation:

GPE = mgh

9800 = m * 10 * 20

9800 = 200m

m = (9800/20) = 49 m

Thenks and mark me brainliest :))

Does a falling rock have potential or kinetic energy
Neko [114]

depends t what stage in the fall it is. If it is at the peak, it is fully potential. If it is in the middle, it has both. If it is at the bottom of the fall, it is completely kinetic

An object experiences an impulse, moves and attains a momentum of 200 kg·m/s. If its mass is 50 kg, what is its velocity?
Nady [450]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the object in this problem, we know:

p = 200 kg m/s is the momentum

m = 50 kg is the mass

Solving for the velocity, we find:

v=\frac{p}{m}=\frac{200}{50}=4 m/s
