A uniform ladder of length l rests against a smooth, vertical wall. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.50, and the ladde

r makes a 53⁰ angle with respect to the horizontal, how far along the length of the ladder can a 56.0-kg person climb before the ladder begins to slip? The ladder is 7.5 m in length and has a mass of 21 kg.

Answer:

X = 5.44 m

Explanation:

First we can calculate the normal force acting from the floor to the ladder.

W₁+W₂ = N  

W1 is the weigh of the ladder

W2 is the weigh of the  person

So we have:

m1g+m2g=N  

N=755.37 N

The friction force is:

F_{force}=\mu N=0.5\cdot 755.37=377.68 N

Now let's define the conservation of torque about the foot of the ladder:

\tau_{ledder}+\tau_{person=\tau_{reaction}}

m_{1}\cdot g\cdot X \cdot cos(53)+m_{2}\cdot g\cdot 3.75 \cdot cos(53)=F_{force}7.5sin(53)

Solving this equation for X, we have:

X = \frac{377.68\cdot 7.5\cdot sin(53)-21\cdot 9.81\cdot 3.75 \cdot cos(53)}{56\cdot 9.81\cdot cos(53)}

Finally, X = 5.44 m

Hope it helps!

Two wheels having the same radius and mass rotate at the same angular velocity. One wheel is made with spokes so nearly all the
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

C. The wheel with spokes has about twice the KE.

Explanation:

Given that

Mass , radius and the angular speed for both the wheels are same.

radius = r

Mass = m

Angular speed = ω

The angular kinetic energy KE given as

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega ^2

I=Moment of inertia for wheels

Wheel made of spokes

I₁ = m r²

Wheel like a disk

I₂ = 0.5 m r²

Now by comparing kinetic energy

\dfrac{KE_1}{KE_2}=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}

\dfrac{KE_1}{KE_2}=\dfrac{mr^2}{0.5mr^2}

\dfrac{KE_1}{KE_2}=2

KE₁= 2 KE₂

Therefore answer is C.

A flywheel with radius of 0.400 mm starts from rest and accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 0.600 rad/s2rad/s2.
charle [14.2K]

Answer: 0.00024\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Radius of flywheel is r=0.4\ mm

Angular acceleration \alpha=0.6\ rad/s^2

For no change in radius, tangential acceleration is  given as

\Rightarrow a_t=a\lpha \times r

Insert the values

\Rightarrow a_t=0.6\times 0.4\times 10^{-3}\ m/s^2\\\Rightarrow a_t=2.4\times 10^{-4}\ m/s^2\ \text{or}\ 0.00024\ m/s^2
