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

The eye of the Atlantic giant squid has a diameter of 3.50 × 10^2 mm. If the eye
Lunna [17]

Answer:

   q = 224 mm,   h ’= - 98 mm, real imagen

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the constructor equation

        \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

       

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

In a mirror the focal length is

        f = R / 2

indicate us radius of curvature is equal to the diameter of the eye

       R = 3,50  10² mm

       f = 3.50 10² /2 = 1.75 10² mm

they also say that the distance to the object is p = 0.800 10³ mm

        1 / q = 1 / f - 1 / p

        1 / q = 1 / 175 - 1 /800

        1 / q = 0.004464

         q = 224 mm

to calculate the size let's use the magnification ratio

          m = \frac{h'}{h} = - \frac{q}{p}

          h '= - \frac{q}{p} \ h

          h ’= - 224 350 / 800

          h ’= - 98 mm

in concave mirrors the image is real.

When the bug is stationary and creating waves, how does the frequency of the wave some distance away from the bug compare with t
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The frequency is the same

Explanation:

When a wave is created by a source which is vibrating at a certain frequency, the frequency of the wave itself is equal to the frequency of the source.

This occurs with every kind of wave. For instance, if we consider the radio waves produced by an antenna, the frequency of the radio waves is equal to the frequency of the antenna.

In this case, the waves are created by the vibrating bug. The bug is vibrating with a certain frequency f: as a consequence, the frequency f' of the waves produced by the bug will be equal to the frequency of vibration of the bug:

f'=f.
