Concept explainers

Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics

In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.

Equilibrium of Forces

The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.

A uniform ladder stands on a rough floor and rests against a frictionless wall as shown in the figure. Since the floor is rough, it exerts both a normal force N1 and a frictional force f1 on the ladder. However, since the wall is frictionless, it exerts only a normal force N2 on the ladder. The ladder has a length of L = 4.4 m, a weight of WL = 53.5 N, and rests against the wall a distance d = 3.75 m above the floor. If a person with a mass of m = 90kg is standing on the ladder, determine the following. (a) the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is halfway up the ladder (Enter the magnitude only.) N1 = ? N N2 = ? N f1 = ? N (b) the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is three-fourths of the way up the ladder (Enter the magnitude only.) N1 = ? N N2 = ? N f1 = ? N
