**Problem Description:**A 39.4 g mouse has gotten into a peculiar situation. Somehow, the mouse has found itself hanging off the end of the metal structure shown in the figure. Hopefully, the structure can support the mouse because it would not make the fall.The structure is rigidly fixed to a wall and has a mass per unit length of 5.26 g/cm and dimensions \( x = 16.2 \) cm and \( y = 26.2 \) cm, defined as \( y = 0.1x^2 \) (where the attachment point P has coordinates \( x_p = 0, \, y_p = 0 \)). Calculate the torque about the attachment point P.**Graph/Diagram Explanation:**- The diagram depicts a curved metal structure attached to a vertical wall on the left side.- The curve starts at point P where it is attached to the wall and extends outwards curving upwards to where the mouse is hanging at the far right end.- The x-axis is the horizontal direction from the wall, while the y-axis is vertical along the wall.- The curve of the structure is defined by the equation \( y = 0.1x^2 \).- The mouse hangs at the endpoint, creating a tension on the structure that needs to be quantified by calculating the torque about point P.**Calculation Box:**\( \tau = \boxed{0.0756} \) N·m (Incorrect)**Note:** The torque calculation needs correction based on the given parameters and physical laws.

A 4.00 meter long uniform ladder with mass 10.0 kilograms leans against a wall, making an angle of 60 degrees with the floor. A person, who has a mass of 60 kilogams, stangs exactly halfway up the ladder. The wall is frictionless. The friction between the bottom of the ladder and the floor keeps the ladder from slipping. Find the magnitude and direction of the force that acts on the bottom of the ladder.
