A 6 m long, uniform ladder leans against a frictionless wall and makes an angle of 74.3 ◦ with the floor. The ladder has a mass
olganol [36]

Answer: µ=0.205

Explanation:

The horizontal forces acting on the ladder are the friction(f) at the floor and the normal force (Fw) at the wall. For horizontal equilibrium,

f=Fw

The sum of the moments about the base of the ladder Is 0

ΣM = 0 = Fw*L*sin74.3º - (25.8kg*(L/2) + 67.08kg*0.82L)*cos74.3º*9.8m/s²

Note that it doesn't matter WHAT the length of the ladder is -- it cancels.

Solve this for Fw.

0= 0.9637FwL - (67.91L)2.652

Fw=180.1/0.9637

Fw=186.87N

f=186.81N

Since Fw=f

We know Fw, so we know f.

But f = µ*Fn

where Fn is the normal force at the floor --

Fn = (25.8 + 67.08)kg * 9.8m/s² =

910.22N

so

µ = f / Fn

186.81/910.22

µ= 0.205

malfutka [58]

From the information given,

diameter of ornament = 8

radius = diameter/2 = 8/2

radius of curvature, r = 4

Recall,

focal length, f = radius of curvature/2 = 4/2

f = 2

Recall,

magnification = image d

What must be the units for the gravitational constant G in order for gravitational force to have units of newtons?
babunello [35]

Answer:

m³/(kg⋅s²)

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the involved formula is:

F=G*\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

By writing a dimensional analysis with the proper algebra handling, we obtain:

N[=]G*\frac{kg*kg}{m^2}\\ \\kg*\frac{m}{s^2}[=]G *\frac{kg*kg}{m^2}\\\\G[=]\frac{kg*m*m^2}{kg^2*s^2}\\ \\G[=]\frac{m^3}{kg*s^2}

Thus, answer is:

m³/(kg⋅s²)

Note that the [=] is used to indicate the units of G.

Best regards
