n the figure, a uniform ladder 12 meters long rests against a vertical frictionless wall. The ladder weighs 400 N and makes an a

ngle θ, of 60° with the floor. A man weighing 864 N climbs slowly up the ladder When he has climbed to a point that is 7.8 m from the base of the ladder, the ladder starts to slip. What is the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the ladder?

Since the ladder is standing, we know that the coefficient of friction is at least something. This [gotta be at least this] friction coefficient can be calculated. As the man begins to climb the ladder, the friction can even be less than the free-standing friction coefficient. However, as the man climbs the ladder, more and more friction is required. Since he eventually slips, we know that friction is less than what's required at the top of the ladder.

 

The only "answer" to this problem is putting lower and upper bounds on the coefficient. For the lower one, find how much friction the ladder needs to stand by itself. For the most that friction could be, find what friction is when the man reaches the top of the ladder.

Ff = uN1

Fx = 0 = Ff + N2

Fy = 0 = N1 – 400 – 864

N1 = 1264 N

Torque balance

T = 0 = N2(12)sin(60) – 400(6)cos(60) – 864(7.8)cos(60)

N2 = 439 N

Ff = 439= u N1

U = 440 / 1264 = 0.3481

Answer:

friction coefficient will be given as

\mu = 0.35

Explanation:

By force balance in x direction we can write

N_2 = \mu N_1

force balance in y direction we can write

N_1 = 400 + 864

N_1 = 1264 N

now we will have

\mu(1264) = N_2

Now by torque balance about bottom most contact point

N_2(12sin60) = 864(7.8cos60) + 400(6cos60)

N_2(10.4) = 3369.6 + 1200

N_2 = 439.4 N

now from above equation we have

\mu (1264) = 439.4

\mu = 0.35

Calculate the potential energy of a 5 kg object sitting at the top of a 2 meter ramp.
trapecia [35]
The formula used to find potential energy is <em>P.E. = M * G * H</em> (P.E. is potential energy, M is mass, G is gravitational pull, and H is height). So the answer to your question is <em>5 * 9.8 * 2</em>, which equals 98.

0.16 mol of argon gas is admitted to an evacuated 70 cm^3 container at 30°C. The gas then undergoes an isothermal expansion to a
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The final pressure of the gas is 9.94 atm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of argon = 0.16 mol

Initial volume = 70 cm³

Angle = 30°C

Final volume = 400 cm³

We need to calculate the initial pressure of gas

Using equation of ideal gas

PV=nRT

P_{i}=\dfrac{nRT}{V}

Where, P = pressure

R = gas constant

T = temperature

Put the value in the equation

P_{i}=\dfrac{0.16\times8.314\times(30+273)}{70\times10^{-6}}

P_{i}=5.75\times10^{6}\ Pa

P_{i}=56.827\ atm

We need to calculate the final temperature

Using relation pressure and volume

P_{2}=\dfrac{P_{1}V_{1}}{V_{2}}

P_{2}=\dfrac{56.827\times70}{400}

P_{2}=9.94\ atm

Hence, The final pressure of the gas is 9.94 atm.

A steady electric current flows through a wire. If 9.0 C of charge passes a particular spot in the wire in a time period of 2.0
defon

1) Current: 4.5 A

2) Time taken: 4.7 s

Explanation:

1)

The electric current intensity is defined as the rate at which charge flows in a conductor; mathematically:

I=\frac{q}{t}

where

I is the current

q is the amount of charge passing a given point in a time t

For the wire in this problem, we have

q = 9.0 C is the amount of charge

t = 2.0 s is the time interval

Solving for I, we find the current:

I=\frac{9.0}{2.0}=4.5 A

2)

To solve this problem, we can use again the same formula

I=\frac{q}{t}

where

I is the current

q is the amount of charge passing a given point in a time t

In this problem, we have:

I = 3.0 A (current)

q = 14.0 C (charge)

Therefore, the time taken for the charge to move past a particular spot in the wire is

t=\frac{q}{I}=\frac{14.0}{3.0}=4.7 s
