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

Helen [10]

Your weight on the moon given the data from the question is 110.5 N

<h3>Definition of mass and weight </h3>

Mass is simply defined as the quantity of matter present in an object. The mass of an object is constant irrespective of the location of the object.

Weight is simply defined as the gravitational pull on an object. The weight of an object varies from place to place due to gravity.

<h3>Relationship between mass and weight </h3>

Mass and weight are related according to the following equation

Weight (W) = mass (m) × Acceleration due to gravity (g)

<h3>How to determine the weight on the moon</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 65 Kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity on the moon (g) = 1.7 m/s²
  • Weight (W) =?

W = mg

W = 65 × 1.7

W = 110.5 N

<h2>The distance between students is 2.46 m</h2>

Explanation:

The force of attraction due to Newton's gravitation law is

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Here G is the gravitational constant

m₁ is the mass of one student

m₂ is the mass of second student .

and r is the distance between them

Thus r = \sqrt{\frac{Gm_1m_2}{F} }

If we substitute the values in the above equation

r = \sqrt{\frac{6.673x10^-^1^1x31.9x30.0}{2.59x10^-^8} }

= 2.46 m

fgiga [73]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is  planetary motion</h2>

Explanation:

According to Johannes Kepler, the laws governing planetary motion

states that:

1. The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.

2. A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas          

   during equal intervals of time.

3. The square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major of its orbit.

Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer

Born: 27 December 1571, Weil der Stadt, Germany

Died: 15 November 1630
