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

Determining the pH of substances such as purple grape juice and catsup using test strips can be difficult. Why?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Because they would naturally dye the test strips in the colors violet and red, regardless of their pH values

A 600 N force acts on an object with a mass of 50 kg. What is the resulting acceleration of the object?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 12 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{600}{50}  =  \frac{60}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>12 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

A marshmallow is dropped from a 5.71 meter high pedestrian bridge, and 0.921 seconds later, it lands right on the head of an uns
Natalka [10]

let the height of the person with marshmallow on her head be "h"

consider the motion of the marshmallow after it is dropped from bridge.

Y₀ = initial position of the marshmallow above the ground = 5.71 m

Y = final position of marshmallow on head of person = h

v₀ = initial velocity of the marshmallow = 0 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel for marshmallow = 0.921 sec

Using the kinematics equation

Y = Y₀ + v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

inserting the values

h = 5.71 + 0 (0.921) + (0.5) (-9.8) (0.921)²

h = 5.71 - 4.16

h = 1.55 m
