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 6.9-kg wheel with geometric radius m has radius of gyration computed about its mass center given by m. A massless bar at angle
Vilka [71]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The value is  \alpha =2.538 \  rad/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The mass of the wheel is  m =  6.9  kg

   The radius is  r =  0.69 \  m

    The radius of gyration is  k_G = 0.4\  m

    The angle is  \theta = 47^o

    The force which the massless bar is subjected to F = 22.5 \  N

Generally given that the wheels rolls without slipping on the flat stationary ground surface, it implies that  point A is the  center of rotation.

  Generally the moment of  inertia about A is mathematically represented as

     I_a =  I_G + M* r^2

Here I_G is the moment of inertia about G with respect to the radius of gyration  which is mathematically represented as

    I_G =  M *  k_G

=>I_a = k_G*  M + M* r^2

=>I_a =0.4 * 6.9  + 6.9 * 0.69^2

=>I_a =6.045 \  kg \cdot m^2

Generally the torque experienced by the wheel  is mathematically represented as

       \tau =  F *  cos (47)

=>     \tau =  22.5 *  cos (47)

=>     \tau =  15.34 \ kg \cdot m^2 \cdot s^{-2}

Generally this torque is also mathematically represented as

     \tau = I_a * \alpha

=>   15.34  =  6.045 * \alpha

=>   \alpha =2.538 \  rad/s^2

Tems11 [23]
Well, the thing is: we don't really know, as we don't even know how many species there are on earth.

If we take a look at the estimates of <span>World Wide Fund for Nature, an organization that works toward combating species extinction, their estimates vary from 200 to 100 000 - but a probable number is 20 000 (d). </span>
