If the coefficient of static friction is 0.40, and the same ladder makes a 51° angle with respect to the horizontal, how far alo

To solve this problem, we apply the concepts related to the sum of forces and balance in a diagram that will be attached, in order to identify the behavior, direction and sense of the forces. The objective is to find an expression that is in terms of the mass, the angle, the coefficient of friction and the length that allows us to identify when the ladder begins to slip. For equilibrium of the ladder we have,

\sum F_x = 0

\sum F_y = 0

\sum M_o = 0

Now we have that

f_1 = N_2

N_1 = mg

And for equilibrium of the two forces we have finally

mgdcos\theta = N_2lsin\theta

Rearranging to find the distance,

d = \frac{N_2}{mg}ltan\theta

d = \frac{f_1}{mg}ltan\theta

So if we have that the frictional force is equivalent to

f_1 = \mu N_1

f_1 = \mu mg

f_1 = (0.4)(57*9.8)

f_1 = 223.44N

With this value we have that

d = \frac{(0.4)(57)(9.8)}{57*9.8}(7.5) tan(60\°)

d = 5.19m

Therefore can go around to 5.19m before the ladder begins to slip.

See projectiles are very simple unless you understand its core concepts....projectile is nothing just mixture of upward motion and horizontal motion....
THE KEY IS FORGET THE NAME PROJECTILE...ITS JUST HORIZONTAL MOTION + VERTICAL MOTION

When the cart moves on an incline at constant speed, it is in equilibrium; i.e., the net force on it is zero. Does it require mo
Amanda [17]

Answer:

It requires more tension to pull up the track

Explanation:

Net force must be zero to maintain constant velocity.

Weight force will always be pointed down the slope. Call it W

Friction force (Call it Ff) will be down slope when movement is up slope.

Friction force will be up slope when movement is down slope.

W and Ff are always positive numbers

Call the pulling force T

If Up slope is considered the positive direction

Moving up slope

Tu - Ff - W = 0

Tu = Ff + W

Moving down slope

Td + W - Ff = 0

Td = Ff - W

Ff + W > Ff - W therefore Tu > Td
