Answer:

f =17.15\ cm

Explanation:

given,

refractive index of lens, n = 1.70

Radius of curvature of front surface. R₁ = 20 cm

Radius of curvature of the back surface, R₂ = 30 cm

focal length= ?

\dfrac{1}{f}=(n-1)(\dfrac{1}{R_1}-\dfrac{1}{R_2})

    R₁ = +20 cm

    R₂ = -30 cm

    n = 1.70

\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.70-1)(\dfrac{1}{20}-\dfrac{1}{-30})

\dfrac{1}{f}=0.70 \times 0.0833

f = \dfrac{1}{0.7 \times 0.0833}

f =17.15\ cm

the focal length of the lens is equal to 17.15 cm

A 16.2 kg person climbs up a uniform ladder with negligible mass. The upper end of the ladder rests on a frictionless wall. The
S_A_V [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of forces. We will decompose the forces in the vertical and horizontal sense, and at the same time, we will perform summation of torques to eliminate some variables and obtain a system of equations that allow us to obtain the angle.

The forces in the vertical direction would be,

\sum F_x = 0

f-N_w = 0

N_w = f

The forces in the horizontal direction would be,

\sum F_y = 0

N_f -W =0

N_f = W

The sum of Torques at equilibrium,

\sum \tau = 0

Wdcos\theta - N_wLsin\theta = 0

WdCos\theta = fLSin\theta

f = \frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}

The maximum friction force would be equivalent to the coefficient of friction by the person, but at the same time to the expression previously found, therefore

f_{max} = \mu W=\frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}

\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{d}{\mu L})

Replacing,

\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{0.9}{0.42*2})

\theta = 46.975\°

Therefore the minimum angle that the person can reach is 46.9°
