Answer:
Measurements allow people to find their way to new places. Measurements such as miles or kilometers are used by GPS systems to give directions. Time measurements help to create schedules so tasks get done on time. Measurements are used in food as well. Ingredients in recipes have to be measured to make the dish correctly. Serving sizes are a measurement that keep people healthy by showing how much of each food you should eat.

Normal forces:
N1 = normal force acting horizontal on top end of ladder touching the frictionless wall
N2 = normal force acting vertically up on the bottom of the ladder touching the ground with friction
Friction forces:
Ff = friction force acting horizontal towards the vertical wall on the bottom of the ladder. Ff will be equal to mu (coefficient of static friction) * N2 (Ff = mu*N2)
Weight Forces:
W = weight of the ladder acting at the centroid of the ladder at a distance L/2 from the base of the ladder along the line of the ladder
WP = 4*W = weight of the person acting at an arbitrary distance x1 from the base of the ladder along the line of the ladder
If you can get this picture the rest should be easy!
Now to solve for some of our forces in terms of our variables.
By summing the forces in the vertical or often the y-direction we can obtain N2. The sum will equal zero because the system is static (no acceleration is occurring).
0 = N2 - W - WP
W and WP are negative because they act down, while N2 acts up and is positive for my connotation.
Therefore N2 = W + WP and WP = 4*W therefore N2 = 5*W
As stated above we know that Ff = mu*N2 therefore Ff = mu*5*W with a simple substitution.
Now to complete the problem we will need to sum moments about a point. There are several ways of doing this, I chose to pick a point that cleverly excuses N1 and N2 from our moment equation. I did so by choosing the point that N1 and N2 act through above the ladder.
Its difficult to expresses my positive/negative connotations for this section but forces that create a moment around this point CCW will be positive and those that create a CC moment about this point will be negative. Again the sum of the moments will add up to zero as the system is static.
Before I sum moments let me define some lengths that I will need.
d1 = the vertical length from the ground to where the ladder touches the vertical wall. With simple trig. we can see that d1 = L*sin(beta)
d2 = the horizontal distance from the base of the ladder to the line of action of the person's weight. Again with simple trig. we can determine that d2 = x1*cos(beta)
d3 = the horizontal distance from the base of the ladder to the line of action of the ladder's weight. Same logic shows that d3 = L/2*cos(beta)
Now to sum the moments about my point described above.
0 = 4*W*d3 + W*d3 - Ff*d1
The first term is the moment created by the person, the second term is the moment created by the ladder, and the third term is the moment created by the friction.
Substituting our known values into the terms above we get:
0 = 4*W*x1*cos(beta) + W *L/2*cos(beta) - mu*5*W*L*sin(beta)
First off we can see each term contains a W; and W does not equal 0 therefore we can divide each term by W and find that it will no longer be contained in the equation:
0 = 4*x1*cos(beta) + L/2*cos(beta) - mu*5*L*sin(beta)
Now I will begin solving the equation for x1
Step one: move all terms to one side that do not contain an x1
mu*5*L*sin(beta) - L/2 *cos(beta) = 4*x1*cos(beta)
Step two: divide by 4*cos(beta) to get x1 by itself
x1 = mu*5/4*L*tan(beta) - L/8
Step three (probably unnecessary): plug in given values mu = 0.4 and beta = 53 degrees
x1 = 0.66*L - L/8
x1 = 0.54*L or the person can climb slightly passed L/2 on the line of the ladder without the ladder slipping.</span>
Solar flares are bright, high-energy rays from the sun. Once it is intense enough, it can affect the Earth with penetrating radiation. Having this knowledge, probes that study or document for these solar flares near the sun's atmosphere should be able to resist high temperatures and high radiation using certain insulators and light materials suitable for space monitoring.
The magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.
<h3>What is frictional force?</h3>
When an object is moving on a rough surface, it experiences opposition. This opposing force is called the friction.
Two identical 3.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up from left to right and a force F₁ is applied to the left side of the left cube causing both cubes to move at a constant speed v. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the cubes and the surface is 0.3.
From the equilibrium of forces in vertical direction
Normal force N= 2m x g
friction force f = μN =μ(2m)g
From the equilibrium of forces in horizontal direction
F₁ =ma =0
using Newton's third law of motion, we get
F₁ - f =0
F₁ =f = μ(2m)g
Put the values, we get
F₁ = 17.64N
Thus, magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.
