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

What is the efficiency of a 0.60 kg basketball that, one dropped from a 2.0 m height (from basket rim) , rebounds to 1.2 m in he
Zinaida [17]
<h2>Let us find the efficiency : Ans = 0.6</h2>

Explanation:

we know :

efficiency = output/input

We also know that :

output = m x g x h

where :

m = mass of body

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of body from floor

Thus, output = 0.6 x 10 x 1.2 = 7.2J

Similarly ,input = 0.6 x 10 x 2 = 12J

Thus efficiency = 7.2/12 = 0.6

Descriptive investigations involve collecting data about a system, but not making observations .
Angelina_Jolie [31]
The correct statement should be: Descriptive investigations involve collecting data about a system, but not making comparisons. 
so i believe the statement above is false

In descriptive investigations, we shall not make any hypothesis for the situation and we just need to fully record all obeservations.
By doing this, we could fully analyze the variables without comparing and manipulating it.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

time of collision is

t = 0.395 s

h = 5.63 m

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground

Explanation:

initial speed of the ball when it is dropped down is

v_1 = 0

similarly initial speed of the object which is projected by spring is given as

v_2 = 16.2 m/s

now relative velocity of object with respect to ball

v_r = 16.2 m/s

now since we know that both are moving under gravity so their relative acceleration is ZERO and the relative distance between them is 6.4 m

d = v_r t

6.4 = 16.2 t

t = 0.395 m

Now the height attained by the object in the same time is given as

h = v_2 t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

h = 16.2(0.395) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81).395^2

h = 5.63 m

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground
