A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh

s 160 N. The coefficient of static friction between the foot of the ladder and the ground is 0.40. A man weighing 740 N climbs slowly up the ladder. Start by drawing a free-body diagram of the ladder.
(a) What is the maximum friction force that the ground can exert on the ladder at its lower end?
(b) What is the actual friction force when the man has climbed 1.0 m along the ladder?
(c) How far along the ladder can the man climb before the ladder starts to slip?

Answer:(a)360N,(b)171N,(c)2.702m

Explanation:

(a)Maximum Friction Force =\mu \left ( N\right )=0.4\times \left ( 740+160\right )

=360 N

cos\theta =\frac{3}{5}

sin\theta =\frac{4}{5}

(b)Moment about Ground Point

740\times 1\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta

N_1tan\theta =1140

N_1=171 N

N_1=f=171 N

(c)

740\times x\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta

Here maximum friction force can be 360 N

Therefore N_1=360 N

Where x is the maximum distance moved by man along the ladder

360\times 5\times \frac{4}{3}=740x+160\times 2.5

740x=2000

x=2.702m

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

fo = 378.52Hz

Explanation:

Using Doppler effect formula:

f'=\frac{C-Vb}{C-Va}*fo

where

f' = 392 Hz

C = 340m/s

Vb = 20m/s

Va = 31m/s

Replacing these values and solving for fo:

fo = 378.52Hz

BRAINLIEST AND MAY DOUBLE POINTS!!!
raketka [301]

Given that:

 Energy of bulb  (Work ) = 30 J,

 Time (t) = 3 sec

The power consumption =  ?

 We know that, Power can be defined as rate of doing work

              Power (P) = Work(Energy supplied) ÷ time

                               = 30 ÷ 3

                              = 10 Watts

<em> The power consumption is 10 W.</em>

Is this statement true or false?
RSB [31]

Answer:

Places at the same latitude may have very different climates if one is on a coast and one is inland. On the coast, the climate is influenced by warm moist air from the ocean. A coastal climate is usually mild. ... Farther inland, the climate is influenced by cold or hot air from the land.

Explanation:

Hopefully its correct!

How does the thickness of the lens affects its focal length plz ans this i will mark as brainliest
Oksanka [162]

Hello! :)

The focal length of the lens tells you how far away from the lens a focused image is created, if light rays approaching the lens are parallel. A lens with more “bending power” has a shorter focal length, because it alters the path of the light rays more effectively than a weaker lens. Most of the time, you can treat a lens as being thin and ignore any effects from the thickness, because the thickness of the lens is much less than the focal length. But for thicker lenses, how thick they are does make a difference, and in general, results in a shorter focal length.

Hope I helped and didn’t answer too late!

Good luck and stay COOL!
