Given
Length of ladder 
Foot the ladder is moving away with speed of 
From diagram
------1
at 


Now differentiating equation 1 w.r.t time




negative indicates distance is decreasing with time
Answer:
x = 0.974 L
Explanation:
given,
length of inclination of log = 30°
mass of log = 200 Kg
rock is located at = 0.6 L
L is the length of the log
mass of engineer = 53.5 Kg
let x be the distance from left at which log is horizontal.
For log to be horizontal system should be in equilibrium
∑ M = 0
mass of the log will be concentrated at the center
distance of rock from CM of log = 0.1 L
now,
∑ M = 0



x = 0.974 L
hence, distance of the engineer from the left side is equal to x = 0.974 L
These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.
Hope this helps! :)
