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 .

A rectangular block of copper metal weighs 1896 g. The dimensions of the block are 8.4 cm by 5.5 cm by 4.6 cm. From this data, w
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

8.9 g/cm^3

Explanation:

density = mass/volume

volume = length * width * height

volume = (8.4 cm)(5.5 cm)(4.6 cm)

volume = 212.52 cm^3

mass = 1896 g

density = (1896 g)/(212.52 cm^3)

density = 8.9 g/cm^3

Anna Litical analyzes the force between a planet and its moon, varying the mass of
Travka [436]

Answer:

Trial 1 is the largest, trial 3 is the smallest

Explanation:

Given:

<em>Trial 1</em>

M₁ = 6·10²² kg

d₁ = 3 500 km = 3.5·10⁶ м

<em>Trial  2</em>

M₂ = 6·10²² kg

d₂ = 7 000 km = 7·10⁶ м

<em>Trial  3</em>

M₃ = 3·10²² kg

d₃ = 7 000 km = 7·10⁶ м

___________

F - ?

Gravitational force:

F₁ = G·m·M₁ / d₁² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·6·10²² / (3.5·10⁶)² = 0.37·m  (N)

F₂ = G·m·M₂ / d₂² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·6·10²² / (7·10⁶)² = 0.08·m  (N)

F₃ = G·m·M₃ / d₃² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·3·10²² / (7·10⁶)² = 0.04·m  (N)

Trial 1 is the largest, trial 3 is the smallest

I have an astronomy question... Spinning up the solar nebula. The orbital speed of the material in the solar nebula at Pluto's a
attashe74 [19]
<span>The angular momentum of a particle in orbit is 

l = m v r 

Assuming that no torques act and that angular momentum is conserved then if we compare two epochs "1" and "2" 

m_1 v_1 r_1 = m_2 v_2 r_2 

Assuming that the mass did not change, conservation of angular momentum demands that 

v_1 r_1 = v_2 r_2 

or 

v1 = v_2 (r_2/r_1) 

Setting r_1 = 40,000 AU and v_2 = 5 km/s and r_2 = 39 AU (appropriate for Pluto's orbit) we have 

v_2 = 5 km/s (39 AU /40,000 AU) = 4.875E-3 km/s

Therefore, </span> the orbital speed of this material when it was 40,000 AU from the sun is <span>4.875E-3 km/s.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

One hundred jumping beans are placed along the center line of a gymnasium floor at six-inch intervals. Twelve hours later, the d
stira [4]

Answer:

a) Diffusion  coefficient, D = 1.5 in/hr

b) Mean jump frequency, f = 0.0833 Hz

Explanation:

a) The relationship between the diffusion coefficient, time and mean displacement and can be given by the expression:

^{2} = 2Dt..........(1)

Where <r> = mean displacement

D = Diffusion coefficient

t = time = 12 hrs

sum of the squares of the distance divided by 100 is 36 in2.

<r>²= 36 in²

Substituting these values into equation (1) above

36 = 2 * D *12\\36 = 24 D\\D = 36/24\\D = 1.5 in/hr

b) Mean jumping distance, <r> = 0.1 inches

Applying equation (1) again

Where D = 1.5 in/hr

^{2} = 2Dt

0.1^{2}  = 2 * 1.5t\\0.01 = 3t\\t = 0.01/3\\t = 0.0033 hrs\\t = 0.0033 * 3600\\t = 12 seconds

The mean jump frequency, f = 1/t

f = 1/12

f = 0.0833 Hz
