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

25.8 kg. A 67.08 kg man climbs 82% of the way to the top of the ladder when it slips and falls to the floor. What is the coefficient of static friction be- tween the ladder and the floor?

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

a 20-kg object travelling at 20 m/s collides head on with an 18-kg object travelling at 17 m/s.If they were locked together afte
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

2.47 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum = Mass X Velocity

If they were locked together, it means its a perfectly inelastic collision. Therefore,

Total momentum before = Total momentum after

Total momentum before = (20 X 20) - (18 X 17)

= 94

Total momentum after = 94

Y = Object speed after collision

94 = (20+18)Y

Y = 2.47368421 m/s

A 6 N and a 10 N force act on an object. The moment arm of the 6 N force is 0.2 m. If the 10 N force produces five times the tor
Levart [38]

Answer:

The moment arm is 0.6 m

Explanation:

Given that,

First force F_{1}=6\ N

Second force F_{2}=10\ N

Distance r = 0.2 m

We need to calculate the moment arm

Using formula of torque

\tau=Force\times lever\ arm

So, Here,

\tau_{2}=5 \tau_{1}

We know that,

The torque is the product of the force and distance.

Put the value of torque in the equation

F_{2}\times d_{2}=5\times F_{1}\times r_{1}

r_{2}=\dfrac{5\times F_{1}\times r_{1}}{F_{2}}

Where, F_{1}=First force

F_{1}=First force

F_{2}=Second force

r_{1}= distance

Put the value into the formula

r_{2}=\dfrac{5\times6\times0.2}{10}

r_{2}=0.6\ m

Hence, The moment arm is 0.6 m
