A ladder is leaning against a vertical wall, and both ends of the ladder are at the point of slipping. The coefficient of fricti

on between the ladder and the horizontal surface is μ1 = 0.265 and the coefficient of friction between the ladder and the wall is μ2 = 0.253. Determine the maximum angle with the vertical the ladder can make without falling on the ground.

Answer:

\alpha =29.60

Explanation:

Let the normal force of the wall on the ladder be N2 and the normal force of the ground on the ladder be N1.

Horizontal forces:

N_{2}= (u1)(N_{1}) [1]

Vertical forces:

N_1 + (u2)(N_{2})=m*g [2]

Substitute [2] into [1]:

N_2 = (u1)*[m*g - (u2)(N_2)]

N_2= \frac{(u1)m*g}{[1 + (u1)(u2)]} [3]

Torques about the point where the ladder meets the ground:

m*g(\frac{L}{2})sin\alpha= (N_2)(L)cos\alpha+(u2)(N_2)(L)sin\alpha

(\frac{1}{2})*m*g=(N_2)*cot\alpha+(u2)(N_2)

[1 + (u1)(u2) - 2(u2)(u1)]/2 [1 + (u1)(u2)]= [(u1)/[1 + (u1)(u2)]]cot\alpha

tanα = \frac{2*(u1)}{1-u1*u2}

\alpha =tan^{-1}*(\frac{2*0.265}{1-0.265*0.253})

\alpha =tan^{-1}*(0.568)

\alpha =29.60

Two stones resembling diamonds are suspected of being fakes. To determine if the stones might be real, the mass and volume of ea
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

stone A is diamond.

Explanation:

given,

Volume of the two stone =  0.15 cm³

Mass of stone A = 0.52 g

Mass of stone B = 0.42 g

Density of the diamond =  3.5 g/cm³

So, to find which stone is gold we have to calculate the density of both the stone.

We know,

density\density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}

density of stone A

\rho_A = \dfrac{0.52}{0.15}

\rho_A = 3.467\ g/cm^3

density of stone B.

\rho_B = \dfrac{0.42}{0.15}

\rho_B = 2.8\ g/cm^3

Hence, the density of the stone A is the equal to Diamond then stone A is diamond.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

W = 12.96 J

Explanation:

The force acting in the direction of motion of the sand paper is the frictional force. So, we first calculate the frictional force:

F = μR

where,

F = Friction Force = ?

μ = 0.92

R = Normal Force = 2.6 N

Therefore,

F = (0.92)(2.6 N)

F = 2.4 N

Now, the displacement is given as:

d = (0.12 m)(45)

d = 5.4 m

So, the work done will be:

W = F d

W = (2.4 N)(5.4 m)

<u>W = 12.96 J</u>

A rock is thrown straight up. What is the net external force acting on the rock when it is at the top of its trajectory (ignorin
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

b) Gravity

Explanation:

Gravity acts all of the time, when you apply force to a projectile it has to be more than the forces of the gravity and air resistance together so the projectile can move,  when the rock is at the top of its trajectory the force that you applied at the beginning is getting lost, so the other forces (air resistance and gravity) make the rock fall to the floor.
