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

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

\frac{R_{s} }{R_{p} } =\frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }+\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } +2

Explanation:

We have series and parallel combination of two resisters R_{1} and R_{2}.

Series combination is

R_{s}= R_{1}+R_{2} and Parallel is R_{p} = (\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}  )^-1

Now dividing series equivalent resistance by parallel resistance gives us

\frac{R_{s} }{R_{p} } =\frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }+\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } +2.

Note! series Combination is simply superposition of two elements (resisters in this case ) in a circuit.

A spherical conductor is inside a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 1000 N/C to the right. What is the magnitude and di
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1.-E=1000N/C to the LEFT

2.-The electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero (conductor proprieties).

3.-The voltmeter read 0V as differential voltage between two points from the conductor

Explanation:

1.The electric field inside the conductor must be zero (conductor proprieties). Then the charges create a electric field equal an opposite to the external electric field. In other words E=1000N/C to the LEFT

2. The electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero. As shown in the figure the electric field induced by the charges in the sphere surface cancelled the EXTERN electric field.

3.If the Electric field inside the conductor is zero, that means that the Voltage in the hole conductor is constant (conductor proprieties). In other words the the voltmeter read 0v as differential voltage between two points from the conductor.

An athlete completes 1 laps around a track with a radius of 25 meters in 180 seconds. What is the magnitude of the athlete's tan
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

0.872<em>m/s</em>

Explanation:

Tangential velocity is given by the formula,

v= 2\pi r/ t

In the question given,

radius= 25meters

time= 180secs

pie= 3.14

number of laps= 1

The magnitude of tangential velocity equals;

\frac{1lap* 2 *3.14 *25m}{180secs}

<em>v </em>= 157<em>m</em>/180<em>secs</em>

Therefore, the magnitude of the tangential velocity

=0.872<em>m/secs</em>
