Two builders carry a sheet of drywall up a ramp. Assume that W = 1.9 m, L = 3.3 m, theta = 19.0°, and that the lead builder carries a weight of 109.0 N (24.5 lb). Ꮎ What is the weight carried by the builder at the rear? HINT: Consider the drywall to have no thickness. The builder at the rear gets tired and suggests that the drywall should be held by its narrow side. W 0 What is the weight he must now carry? HINT: From the previous problem, you know how much each builder carries. Therefore you know the total weight. Set the sum of the torques about the front lower corner to 0, so that you do not need to know the weight carried by the builder in front.
7. A ladder of length 12 m leaning up against a wall makes a 50 degree angle with the ground. The top of the ladder has sliders so that it can slide up and down the wall. Therefore, consider the top of the ladder to be frictionless. The ladder has a weight of 189 N that acts at its center. Someone weighing Fg = 1000 N is 0.92 m vertically below B, but on the ladder. Another person is on the ground holding the ladder by pushing on it horizontally with a force F. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.32, find the horizontal force F that must be applied at a vertical height of 1.2 m to prevent the ladder from slipping. LL F 1.2 m 12 m 50⁰ Fg B .92 m
