A ladder is leaning against a vertical wall, and both ends of the ladder are at the point of slipping. The coefficient of fricti

on between the ladder and the horizontal surface is μ1 = 0.195 and the coefficient of friction between the ladder and the wall is μ2 = 0.253. Determine the maximum angle with the vertical the ladder can make without falling on the ground.

Here:
Sum Fx| Fgx=Fw
SumFy| Fgy=mg-mu2xFw
SumTorques | Fw(Lcos(theta))=mg(L/2)sin(theta) - Now,this leads to-->Fw=Fg=(mg)/(2tan(theta))For no slipping Fgx<=mu1(Fgy)

Just make the substitutions and it gets ugly but the final thing you get should be 

theta= arctan[(1-mu1x mu2)/(2mu1)) , which equals 67.946 then subtract from 90 and viola!
you get the answer of 22.305

What can you say about the velocity about the velocity of moving body that is dynamic equalibrium? Draw a sketch of such a body
WITCHER [35]

Equilibrium implies that the net force on the body is 0, therefore the body undergoes no acceleration. No acceleration means the velocity doesn't change.

The body's velocity stays constant over time.

What do lenses do?
Dovator [93]
A convex lens makes light rays converge (come together) at the focal point or focus. The distance from the center of the lens to the focal point is the focal length of the lens. Convex lenses are used in things like telescopes and binoculars to bring distant light rays to a focus in your eyes.

What is the speed of a cheetah that travels 176.4 meters in 4.5 seconds?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \boxed{ \sf{39.2 \: m/ {s} \:  }}}}

Explanation:

Given,

Distance travelled ( d ) = 176.4 meters

Time taken ( t ) = 4.5 seconds

<u>Finding </u><u>the </u><u>speed </u><u>of </u><u>a </u><u>cheetah</u>

Speed \sf{ =  \frac{distance \: travelled}{time \: taken} }

\sf{ =  \frac{176.4}{4.5} }

\sf{ = 39.2 \: m/ {s} \:  }

------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Let's </u><u>learn </u><u>about </u><u>Speed </u> :

Suppose a body moves 20 m in 2 seconds, either on a curved path or on a straight path. So , 10 m is the distance travelled by the body in each second which can be written as 10 m/s. This is called speed of the body. Thus, <u>Speed </u><u>is </u><u>defined </u><u>as </u><u>the </u><u>distance</u><u> </u><u>travelled</u><u> </u><u>per </u><u>unit </u><u>time.</u> It is the rate of distance travelled by a body.

Mathematically,

\boxed{ \bold{ \sf{speed =  \frac{distance \: travelled}{time \: taken} }}}

In SI system, the unit of distance is metre and time is second. Thus , the <u>SI </u><u>unit </u><u>is </u><u>speed </u><u>is </u><u>m/</u><u>s.</u>

Hope I helped!
