A uniform ladder of length 10.8 m is leaning against a vertical frictionless wall. The weight of the ladder is 323 N, and it mak

es an angle of 1.16 radians with the floor. A man weighing 734 N climbs slowly up the ladder. When he has climbed to a point that is 7.46 m from the base of the ladder (measured along the ladder), the ladder starts to slip. Find the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the ladder.

8 0

Answer:

0.3625

Explanation:

From the given information:

Consider the equilibrium conditions;

On the ladder, net torque= 0

Thus,

\tau_{net} = 0; and

-fL \s in \theta +m_L g \dfrac{L}{2} cos \theta + mg (7.46\ m) cos \theta = 0

However, by rearrangement;

fL \s in \theta =m_L g \dfrac{L}{2} cos \theta + mg (7.46\ m) cos \theta  \\ \\  \mu(m_L + m) gL \ sin \theta = (323  \ N) ( 10.8 \ meters) \ cos 56^0 + (734 \ N) (7.46 \ m) \ cos  \  66.46^0

\mu= \dfrac{ (323  \ N) ( 10.8 \ m) \ cos 56^0 + (734 \ N) (7.46 \ m) \ cos  \  66.46^0}{\Big [(323 \ N)+(734 \ N) \Big] (10.8 \ m)}

\mathbf{\mu= 0.3625 }

Describe the water cycle process starting from an afternoon thunderstorm. There are many different variations that could happen.
spin [16.1K]

Explanation:

The water cycle basically involves five steps:

  • evaporation and transpiration ⇄
  • condensation, ⇄
  • precipitation, ⇄
  • runoff, ⇄
  • infiltration ⇄

So when a <u>thunderstorm </u>occurs it <em>helps in completing the precipitation process </em>by enabling the release of water vapor stored up in the atmosphere to fall on the ground as rain.

After this, the water <em>runoffs </em><em>to the surface of the ground, on plants, into rocks, rivers, and lakes.</em>

Next, the <em>Infiltration process</em> enables the water on the ground surface to enter the soil some of which becomes groundwater.

The cycle begins again as the<em> </em><em>evaporation and transpiration</em> <em>process </em>begins, where the groundwater as a result of heat from the sun is taken back into the atmosphere, while water in plants by means of transpiration goes back <em>into the atmosphere</em>.

It then <em>condenses </em>and falls back as precipitation again.

What do you understand by upthrust Force​
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

hope you like it

Explanation:

An object that is partly, or completely, submerged experiences a greater pressure on its bottom surface than on its top surface. This causes a resultant force upwards. This force is called upthrust . The upthrust force is equal in size to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

Buoyancy or upthrust, is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object.It is the force that pushes an object up. The upthrust, or buoyancy, keeps ships afloat. The upthrust, or buoyancy, keeps swimmers on top of the water.

How does energy and temperature affect the density of fluids (liquids and gases)?​
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: When a liquid or gas is heated, the molecules move faster, bump into each other, and spread apart. Because the molecules are spread apart, they take up more space. ... The molecules move more slowly and take up less space. Therefore temperature can affect density.
