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

A block slides down a frictionless inclined ramp. If the ramp angle is 17.0° and its length is 30.0 m, find the speed of the blo
shutvik [7]

Answer:

 v = 17.15 m/s

Explanation:

given,

angle of ramp = 17.0°

length of ramp(l) = 30 m

height of the ramp =  

     h = l sin \theta

     h = 30 sin 30^0

            h = 15 m

using energy of conservation

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh

\dfrac{1}{2}v^2 = gh

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 15}

v = \sqrt{294}

 v = 17.15 m/s

 speed of block reaching at the bottom = v = 17.15 m/s

Mimas, a moon of Saturn, has an orbital radius of 1.62 × 108 m and an orbital period of about 23.21 h. Use Newton’s version of K
Drupady [299]

Answer:

3.60432\times 10^{26}\ kg

Explanation:

a = Orbital radius = 1.62\times 10^8\ m

T = Orbital period = 23.21 hours

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

From Kepler's third law we get

M=\frac{4\pi^2a^3}{GT^2}\\\Rightarrow M=\frac{4\pi^2\times (1.62\times 10^8)^3}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times (23.21\times 3600)^2}\\\Rightarrow M=3.60432\times 10^{26}\ kg

From the given data the mass of Saturn is 3.60432\times 10^{26}\ kg
