Answer:

 μ = 0.336

Explanation:

We will work on this exercise with the expressions of transactional and rotational equilibrium.

Let's start with rotational balance, for this we set a reference system at the top of the ladder, where it touches the wall and we will assign as positive the anti-clockwise direction of rotation

          fr L sin θ - W L / 2 cos θ - W_painter 0.3 L cos θ  = 0

          fr sin θ  - cos θ  (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter) = 0

          fr = cotan θ  (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter)

Now let's write the equilibrium translation equation

     

X axis

        F1 - fr = 0

        F1 = fr

the friction force has the expression

       fr = μ N

Y Axis

       N - W - W_painter = 0

       N = W + W_painter

       

we substitute

      fr = μ (W + W_painter)

we substitute in the endowment equilibrium equation

     μ (W + W_painter) = cotan θ  (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter)

      μ = cotan θ (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter) / (W + W_painter)

we substitute the values ​​they give

      μ = cotan θ  (12/2 + 0.3 55) / (12 + 55)

      μ = cotan θ  (22.5 / 67)

      μ = cotan tea (0.336)

To finish the problem, we must indicate the angle of the staircase or catcher data to find the angle, if we assume that the angle is tea = 45

       cotan 45 = 1 / tan 45 = 1

the result is

    μ = 0.336

We know that every object exerts an attraction on every other object and the heavier the object ___ the attraction.
hichkok12 [17]
I don't know what the exact word is, but I do know that the bigger an objects mass is the more it will attract other objects toward it, mainly smaller objects with less mass. it might be gravity or something around those lines....is it a multiple choice question?

The owner of a company that manufactures drinking cups decides it would be impressive to build an inground swimming pool that is
garri49 [273]

Answer:

The depth is 5.15 m.

Explanation:

Lets take the depth of the pool = h m

The atmospheric pressure ,P = 101235 N/m²

The area of the top = A m²

The area of the bottom =  a m²

Given that A= 1.5 a

The force on the top of the pool = P A

The total pressure on the bottom = P + ρ g h

ρ =Density of the  water = 1000 kg/m³

The total pressure at the bottom of the pool =  (P + ρ g h) a

The bottom and the top force is same

(P + ρ g h) a = P A

P a +ρ g h a =  P A

ρ g h a =  P A - P a

h=\dfrac{P ( A-a)}{\rho g a}

h=\dfrac{P ( 1.5 a-a)}{\rho g a}

h=\dfrac{P ( 1.5- 1)}{\rho g}

h=\dfrac{101235 ( 1.5- 1)}{1000\times 9.81}\ m

h=5.15 m

The depth is 5.15 m.

Suppose a car is traveling at +20.3 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.207 s has elapsed (the reaction t
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

33.6371 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 20.3 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = -7 m/s²

Distance traveled in the 0.207 seconds

Distance = Speed × Time

⇒Distance = 20.3×0.207 = 4.2021 m

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-20.3^2}{2\times -7}\\\Rightarrow s=29.435\ m

Distance traveled by the car while braking is 29.435 m

Total distance measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light is 29.435+4.2021 = 33.6371 m
