A 15.0-m uniform ladder weighing 500 N rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes a 60.08 angle with the horizontal. (a

) Find the horizontal and vertical forces the ground exerts on the base of the ladder when an 800-N firefighter has climbed 4.00 m along the ladder from the bottom. (b) If the ladder is just on the verge of slipping when the firefighter is 9.00 m from the bottom, what is the coefficient of static friction between ladder and ground

Answer:

a)  fr = 266.92 N,   fy = 1300 N,  b)    μ = 0.36

Explanation:

a) This is a balancing act.

Let's write the rotational equilibrium relations, where the turning point is the bottom of the ladder and the counterclockwise rotations are positive

             -w x - W x₂ + R y = 0         (1)

usemso trigonometry to find distances

            cos 60.08 = x / 7.5

            x = 7.5 cos 60.08

            x = 3.74 m

fireman

           cos 60.08 = x₂ / 4

           x2 = 4 cos 60

           x2 = 2 m

wall support

           sin 60.08 = y / 15

           y = 15 are 60.08

           y = 13 m

we substitute in equation 1

           R y = w x + W x2

            R = (w x + W x2) / y

            R = (500 3.74 +800 2) / 13

            R = 266.92 N

now let's write the expressions for the translational equilibrium

X axis

           R -fr = 0

           R = fr

           fr = 266.92 N

Y Axis  

           Fy - w-W = 0

           fy = 500 + 800

           fy = 1300 N

b) ask the friction coefficient

the firefighter's distance is

          cos 60.08 = x₃ / 9.00

          x₃ = 9 cos 60

          x₃ = 5.28 m

from equation 1

          R = (w x + W x₃) / y

          R = 500 3.74 + 800 5.28) / 13

          R = 468.769 N

we saw that

          fr = R = 468.769

The expression for the friction force is

          fr = μ N

in this case the normal is the ratio to pesos

        N = Fy

       N = 1300 N

        μ N = fr

        μ = fr / N

        μ = 468,769 / 1300

         μ = 0.36

When comparing two circuits, you note that circuit one has twice the resistance and double the voltage of circuit two. This mean
pochemuha

This means that there is same current flow in both the circuit, or the circuit one has twice the power of circuit two.

According to ohm's law, the resistance is given as

I=V/R

Since the circuit one has twice the voltage, and resistance

I1=I2
