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

According to the concept of length contraction, what happens to the length of an object as it approaches the speed of light and
lord [1]
When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.

Which row shows what happens to the temperature of a solid as it melts and what happens to the temperature when
frez [133]

When ice melts, its temperature doesn't change ... ice at 32 degrees becomes water at 32 degrees.

When water boils, its temperature doesn't change ... water at 212 degrees becomes steam at 212 degrees.

The row that says both of these is row-D .

Car a with mass 1,783 kg collides with stationary 1600 kg car b. they become locked together after the collision and move with s
ValentinkaMS [17]

The initial speed of car A is 15.18 m/s.

Momentum is defined as mass in motion. If there are two objects (the two objects in motion or only one object in motion and the other in stationary) that collide and no other forces work in the system, the law of momentum conservation applies in the system.

p=p'

pa+pb = pa'+pb'

(ma×va) + (mb×vb) = (ma×va') + (mb×vb')

  • ma = mass of object A (kg) = 1,783 kg
  • mb = mass of object B (kg) = 1,600 kg
  • va = speed of object A before collides (m/s)
  • va' = speed of object A after collides (m/s) = 8 m/s
  • vb = speed of object B before collides (m/s) = 0 m/s
  • vb' = speed of object B after collides (m/s) = 8 m/s
  • p = momentum before collision (Ns)
  • p' = momentum after collision (Ns)

(ma×va) + (mb×vb) = (ma×va') + (mb×vb')

(1,783×va) + (1,600×0) = (1,783×8) + (1,600×8)

(1,783×va) + 0 = 14,264+12,800

(1,783×va) = 27,064

va \:=\: \frac{27,064}{1.783}

va = 15.18 m/s
