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

After a check up, a person now has a far point of 100 cm, but with good near point vision. He needs to wear a new pair of correc
lakkis [162]

Answer:

so his far point according to this pair of glass is 200 cm

Explanation:

power of old pair of corrective glasses is given as

P = -0.5 dioptre

now we have

f = \frac{1}{P}

f = -2 m

f = -200 cm

now we know that for normal vision the maximum distance of vision is for infinite distance

so by lens formula we have

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}

\frac{1}{d_i} + 0 = \frac{1}{200}

d_i = 200 cm

so his far point according to this pair of glass is 200 cm

Amotor supplied by 240V requires 12A to lift a 2000 lb at a rate of 25 ft/min, me power input to the motor is-
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Power input, P = 2880 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of the motor, V = 240 V

Current required, I = 12 A

Weight lifted, W = 2000 lb

It is lifting at a speed of 25 ft/min. We need to find the power input to the motor. The product of current and voltage is called power input of the motor.

P=I\times V

P=12\ A\times 240\ V

P = 2880 watts

So, the power input of the motor is 2880 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.
