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!

Mamont248 [21]

Solution

distance travelled by Chris

\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.

X_{c}= [(\frac{21+0}{2})+(\frac{33+21}{2})+(\frac{55+47}{2})+(\frac{63+55}{2})+(\frac{70+63}{2})+(\frac{76+70}{2})+(\frac{82+76}{2})+(\frac{87+82}{2})+(\frac{91+87}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}

=\frac{579.5}{3600}=0.161miles

Kelly,

\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.

X_{k}=[(\frac{24+0}{2})+(\frac{3+24}{2})+(\frac{55+39}{2})+(\frac{62+55}{2})+(\frac{71+62}{2})+(\frac{79+71}{2})+(\frac{85+79}{2})+(\frac{85+92}{2})+(\frac{99+92}{2})+(\frac{103+99}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}

=\frac{657.5}{3600}

\Delta X=X_{k}-X_{C}=0.021miles
