Suppose a ladder of length L = 8 m and mass m = 20 kg is leaning up against a wall such that it makes an angle of θ = 70 degree

angle with the floor and is not moving. For this problem, we'll say there is no one standing on the ladder. Just like the very last problem on the discussion worksheet, we'll also imagine that the ladder is up against a very smooth wall so that there is no frictional force exerted on the ladder by the wall, but there is a frictional force between the bottom of the ladder and the floor. What is the magnitude of the fictional force between the ladder and the floor?

Answer:

fr = 269.3 N

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law, for this it is good to see the attached diagram,

X axis

    fr -F2 = 0

    fr = F2

Y Axis

   N-W = 0

We must include the rotation balance, place the rotation point at the bottom of the ladder and take the positive counterclockwise turns.

    Σ τ  = 0

    F2 x -W y / 2 = 0

We look for x and y with trigonometry

    sin 70 = y / L

   cos 70 = x / L

   y = L sin70

   x = L cos 70

We substitute and calculate F2

   F2 L cos 70 = W  L sin 70 / 2

   F2 = mg/2  tan 70

   F2 = 20 9.8/2  tan 70

   F2 = 269.3 N

From the first equation (x axis)

   fr = F2

   fr = 269.3 N

Sunlight is a form of electromagnetic energy.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Mama L [17]
<span>The statement, Sunlight is a form of electromagnetic energy, is true. The answer is letter A. Electromagnetic energy is a form of radiant energy that released by electromagnetic radiation. One example of an electromagnetic radiation is the visible light. And visible light can be radio waves, infrared light and X - rays. The rays of the sun are a form of visible light. It has an electromagnetic radiation of UV (ultra violet) rays. That is why the radiation at day is greater than at day due to sun’s rays. </span>

How to solve number 10
Vinil7 [7]

The 'formulas' to use are just the definitions of 'power' and 'work':

Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

and  

Work = (force) x (distance) .

Combine these into one. Take the definition of 'Work', and write it in place of 'work' in the definition of power.

Power = (force x distance) / (time)

From the sheet, we know the power, the distance, and the time.  So we can use this one formula to find the force.

Power = (force x distance) / (time)

Multiply each side by (time):  (Power) x (time) = (force) x (distance)

Divide each side by (distance): Force = (power x time) / (distance).

Look how neat, clean, and simple that is !

Force = (13.3 watts) x (3 seconds) / (4 meters)

Force = (13.3 x 3 / 4) (watt-seconds / meter)

Force = 39.9/4 (joules/meter)

<em>Force = 9.975 Newtons</em>

Is that awesome or what !
