A uniform ladder of length L and weight w is leaning against a vertical wall. The coefficient of static friction between the lad

der and the floor is the same as that between the ladder and the wall. If this coefficient of static friction is μs = 0.495, determine the smallest angle the ladder can make with the floor without slipping.

Answer: 45.3°

Explanation:

Given,

Length of ladder = l

Weight of ladder = w

Coefficient of friction = μs = 0.495

Smallest angle the ladder makes = θ

If we assume the forces in the vertical direction to be N1, and the forces in the horizontal direction to be N2, then,

N1 = mg and

N2 = μmg

Moment at a point A in the clockwise direction is

N2 Lsinθ - mg.(L/2).cosθ = 0

μmgLsinθ - mg.(L/2).cosθ = 0

μmgLsinθ = mg.(L/2).cosθ

μsinθ = cosθ/2

sin θ / cos θ = 1 / 2μ

Tan θ = 1 / 2μ

Substituting the value of μ = 0.495, we have

Tan θ = 1 / 2 * 0.495

Tan θ = 1 / 0.99

Tan θ = 1.01

θ = tan^-1(1.01)

θ = 45.3°

What are 4 physical properties for the bear
Pie

Answer:

A bear normally has a short, thick neck, a rounded head, a pointed muzzle, short ears, and small eyes. Some species have round faces. Bears have poor eyesight, and most have only fair hearing.

Explanation:

Modern Bears are characterized with large body and stocky legs, a long snout, shaggy hair, plantigrade paws with five non-retractile claws and a short tail.

Grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) have concave faces, a distinctive hump on their shoulders, and long claws about two to four inches long. Both the hump and the claws are traits associated with a grizzly bear's exceptional digging ability. Grizzlies are often dark brown, but can vary from blonde to nearly black.

The brown bear has a slight hump above its shoulder, round ears, a long snout and big paws with long, curved claws that it uses for digging. Unlike the black bear, it can't climb trees. It can weigh between 350-1,500 pounds. When standing on its hind legs it can be up to 5 feet tall.

Hope this helps     :)

The moment of inertia is 24.8 kg m^2

Explanation:

The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moment of inertia of the rod + the moment of inertia of the two balls.

The moment of inertia of the rod about its centre is given by

I_r = \frac{1}{12}ML^2

where

M = 24 kg is the mass of the rod

L = 0.96 m is the length of the rod

Substituting,

I_r = \frac{1}{12}(24)(0.96)^2=1.84 kg m^2

The moment of inertia of one ball is given by

I_b = mr^2

where

m = 50 kg is the mass of the ball

r=\frac{L}{2}=\frac{0.96}{2}=0.48 m is the distance of each ball from the axis of rotation

So we have

I_b = (50)(0.48)^2=11.5 kg m^2

Therefore, the total moment of inertia of the system is

I=I_r + 2I_b = 1.84+ 2(11.5)=24.8 kg m^2
