This phenomenon is as a result of static friction created by the tumbling clothes. Static friction results from the rubbing together of two or mores objects or body and electrons are stripped from one surface of the clothes more than the other. This creates an electrostatic force of attractions between the positive charges on one cloth and the negative charges on the other cloth.(unlike charges attract).

<span>Static cling is caused by friction and in this case is created by the tumbling clothes. The clothes rub against each other when they tumble and when they do, some of the clothes lose electrons, so they have a positive charge. The clothes that receive the electrons will have a negative charge. Opposites attract, so the clothes will stick together due to their charges.</span>

n the figure, a uniform ladder 12 meters long rests against a vertical frictionless wall. The ladder weighs 400 N and makes an a
Leto [7]

Since the ladder is standing, we know that the coefficient of friction is at least something. This [gotta be at least this] friction coefficient can be calculated. As the man begins to climb the ladder, the friction can even be less than the free-standing friction coefficient. However, as the man climbs the ladder, more and more friction is required. Since he eventually slips, we know that friction is less than what's required at the top of the ladder.

 

The only "answer" to this problem is putting lower and upper bounds on the coefficient. For the lower one, find how much friction the ladder needs to stand by itself. For the most that friction could be, find what friction is when the man reaches the top of the ladder.

Ff = uN1

Fx = 0 = Ff + N2

Fy = 0 = N1 – 400 – 864

N1 = 1264 N

Torque balance

T = 0 = N2(12)sin(60) – 400(6)cos(60) – 864(7.8)cos(60)

N2 = 439 N

Ff = 439= u N1

U = 440 / 1264 = 0.3481
