Answer:

d=1.18m

Explanation:

A 5.0-m long, 12-kg uniform ladder rests against a smooth vertical wall with the bottom of the ladder 3.0 m from the wall. the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the ladder is 0.28. what distance, measured along the ladder from the bottom, can a 60-kg person climb before the ladder starts to slip?

frictional force =uFn

u=coefficient of static friction

Fn=normal force

assuming forces in the y direction, we ave

EFy=0

Efy=Fn-Fg-Fp

Fn=Fg+Fp

Fn=120N+600N

Fn=720N

we recall tat Frctional force=uFn

0.28*720N

201.6N

summing te forces in te x direction

EFx=Fr-fWall

Fr=frictional force

Fwall=force in the wall

Fr=Fwall

Fwall=201.6N

the angle te ladder makes wit round will be

cos\alpha=3/5

\alpha=53.13

Next, we can turn to calculating the net torque

Choose the pivot point at the bottom of the ladder

(this choice eliminates FN and Fr).

rgrav =1/2*5=2.5

rwall=5m

rman=d

twall== r( wall)(Fwall)sinalpa

5*201.6sin53.13

twall=+806.39Nm

τ grav = r( grav )(Fgrav )sin53.13

τ grav=2.5*120*)sin53.13

-239.99nm

τ person = r( person )(Fperson )sin53.13

d*600Nsn53.13

-479.99d

∑τ = τ wall + τ grav + τ person

= 0

summation of te torque

te negative sin is for troques in te clockwise direction

+806.39Nm-239.99nm-479.99d=0

566.4=479.99

d=1.18m

First establish the summation of the forces acting int the ladder

Forces in the x direction Fx = 0 = force of friction (Ff) – normal force in the wall(n2)

Forces in the y direction Fy =0 = normal force in floor (n1) – (12*9.81) –( 60*9.81)

So n1 = 706.32 N

Since Ff = un1 = 0.28*706.32 = 197,77 N = n2

Torque balance along the bottom of the ladder = 0 = n2(4 m) – (12*9.81*2.5 m) – (60*9.81 *x m)

X = 0.844 m

5/ 3 = h/ 0.844

H = 1.4 m can the 60 kg person climb berfore the ladder will slip

How are typhoons formed? <br>Need help! ​
Mila [183]

Answer:

typhoon forms when winds blow into areas of the ocean where the water is warm. These winds collect moisture and rise, while colder air moves in below. This creates pressure, which causes the winds to move very quickly. The winds rotate, or spin, around a center called an eye.

Why are nonmetals more likely to react with eachother by sharing electrons
RideAnS [48]

The answer is; non-metals have a high ionization energy

This means that it would take more energy to dislodge an electron from the valence orbital than it would take to do the same to a metal atom. Therefore it would be easier to share electrons for non-metals while it would be easier to lose an electron for metals to reach a stable electron configuration.

The frequency of the lowest standing-wave mode on a 1.0-m-long string is 20 Hz. What is the wave speed on the string?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Wave speed on the spring is 40 m/s

Explanation:

Frequency for standing wave mode of  an open- open tube is given by

f_{} =\frac{v}{2L}

where v is the velocity, L =1 m is the length

wave speed on the spring is

v =2fL\\v=2\times 20\times 1\\v=40 m/s
