Answer:
James is correct here as the force of hand pushing upwards is always more than the force of hand pushing down
Explanation:
Here we know that one hand is pushing up at some distance midway while other hand is balancing the weight by applying a force downwards
so here we can say
Upwards force = downwards Force + weight of snow
while if we find the other force which is acting downwards
then for that force we can say that net torque must be balanced
so here we have

so here we have

so here we can say that upward force by which we push up is always more than the downwards force
Answer:
0 J
Explanation:
As work is force times displacement, if no displacement occurs, no work occurs.
Answer: d= 0.57* l
Explanation:
We need to check that before ladder slips the length of ladder the painter can climb.
So we need to satisfy the equilibrium conditions.
So for ∑Fx=0, ∑Fy=0 and ∑M=0
We have,
At the base of ladder, two components N₁ acting vertical and f₁ acting horizontal
At the top of ladder, N₂ acting horizontal
And Between somewhere we have the weight of painter acting downward equal to= mg
So, we have N₁=mg
and also mg*d*cosФ= N₂*l*sin∅
So,
d=
* tan∅
Also, we have f₁=N₂
As f₁= чN₁
So f₁= 0.357 * 69.1 * 9.8
f₁= 241.75
Putting in d equation, we have
d=
* tan 58
d= 0.57* l
So painter can be along the 57% of length before the ladder begins to slip
