This question is incomplete, the complete question;

The L-ft ladder has a uniform weight of W lb and rests against the smooth wall at B. θ = 60. If the coefficient of static friction at A is μ = 0.4.

Determine the magnitude of force at point A and determine if the ladder will slip. given the following; L = 10 FT, W = 76 lb

Answer:

- the magnitude of force at point A is 79.1033 lb

- since FA < FA_max; Ladder WILL NOT slip

Explanation:

Given that;

∑'MA = 0

⇒ NB [Lsin∅] - W[L/2.cos∅] = 0

NB = W / 2tan∅ -------let this be equation 1

∑Fx = 0

⇒ FA - NB = 0

FA = NB

therefore from equation 1

FA = NB = W / 2tan∅

we substitute in our values

FA = NB = 76 / 2tan(60°) = 21.9393 lb

Now ∑Fy = 0

NA - W = 0

NA = W = 76 lb

Net force at A will be

FA' = √( NA² + FA²)

= √( (W)² + (W / 2tan∅)²)

we substitute in our values

FA' = √( (76)² + (21.9393)²)

= √( 5776 + 481.3328)

= √ 6257.3328

FA' = 79.1033 lb

Therefore the magnitude of force at point A is 79.1033 lb

Now maximum possible frictional force at A

FA_max = μ × NA

so, FA_max = 0.4 × 76

FA_max = 30.4 lb

So by comparing, we can easily see that the actual friction force required for keeping the the ladder stationary i.e (FA) is less than the maximum possible friction available at point A.

Therefore since FA < FA_max; Ladder WILL NOT slip

Answer:

Same reading.

Explanation:

Assume that after the string breaks the ball falls through the liquid with constant speed. If the mass of the bucket and the liquid is 1.20 kg, and the mass of the ball is 0.150 kg,

A.) Before the string break, the total weight = weight of the can + weight of the water.

According to Archimedes' Principle which state that: “A body immersed in a liquid loses weight by an amount equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.” Archimedes principle also states that: “When a body is immersed in a liquid, an upward thrust, equal to the weight of the liquid displaced, acts on it

B.) After the string break.

The scale will have the same reading as before the string break.

Suppose you throw a ball vertically upward with a speed of 49 m/s. Neglecting air friction, what would be the height of the ball
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

78.4 m

Explanation:

Using newton's equation of motion,

S = ut + 1/2gt²......................... Equation 1

Where S = Height, t = time, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Note: Taking upward to be negative, and down ward positive

Given: u = 49 m/s, t = 2.0 s, g = -9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

S = 49(2) - 1/2(9.8)(2)²

S = 98 - 19.6

S = 78.4 m

Hence the height of the ball two seconds later = 78.4 m
