A 5.00-m-long uniform ladder, weighing 200 N, rests against a smooth vertical wall with its base on a horizontal rough floor, a

distance of 1.20 m away from the wall. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the floor is 0.200. How far up the ladder, measured along the ladder, can a 600-N person climb before the ladder begins to slip

Answer:

0.488  m  

Explanation:

If θ be the angle ladder makes with the plane

cos θ = 1.2 / 5

Tan θ = 4.04

Let the height a person of weight 600 N  can climb be h from the ground .

Distance from the base point  where ladder touches the floor  = h / tanθ

= h / 4.04

Total reaction force = total downward force

R = 200 + 600

800 N

Frictional force = μ R

= .2 x 800

= 160 N

Taking moment of force about the point on the ladder  where it  touches the floor  and balancing them

200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = μ R x  1.2 / tanθ ( reaction  at the top point of ladder where it touches the wall is  R₁ and

R₁ =μ R   )

= 200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = 160 x 1.2 / tanθ

120  - 600 h / 4.04 = 47.52

120 - 47.52 = 600 h / 4.04

72.48= 148.51 h

h = 0.488  m  

=

Why are units of measurement useful?
Zanzabum

Without the ability to measure, it would be difficult for scientists to conduct experiments or form theories. Not only is measurement important in science and the chemical industry, it is also essential in farming, engineering, construction, manufacturing, commerce, and numerous other occupations and activities.

Beryllium has a charge of 2, and bromine has a charge of –1. which is the best name for the ionic bond that forms between them?
Otrada [13]

The best name for the ionic bond that forms between them is Beryllium Bromide.

We have been provided with data,

Beryllium charge, q = 2

Bromine charge, q = -1

As we know the valance electron of Be is +2  and the valance electron of bromine is -1. Since one is metallic and the other is non-metallic.

Now, when they combine they exchange valance electron, and bromine change into bromide so they form Beryllium Bromide.

So, the best name for the ionic bond that forms between them is Beryllium Bromide.

A series RCL circuit consists of a 50 Ω resistor, 500 Ω capacitor, and a 500 Ω inductor. What is the angle of impedance?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

here, the inductive reactance and the capacitive reactance is same, so this is the condition for resonance.

In the condition for resonance,

the circuit and the voltage in the circuit is in the same phase and the impedance of the circuit is minimum which is equal to the resistance of the circuit.

The phase angle is given by

tan\phi =\frac{X_{L}-X_{C}}{R}

Ф = 0

What is the relation between the gravitational force acting between any two bodies object with their masses and the distance bet
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. ... increases, the force of gravity decreases. If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity is one-fourth as strong as before.
