A uniform ladder 10.0 m long and weighing 52.0 N rests against a smooth vertical wall. If the coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is 0.360 and the ladder makes a 60.0° angle with respect to the horizontal, is it safe for a 65-kg painter to climb it 6m and 7m along its length? Justify your answers. (The 6- and 7- m distances are measured from the foot of the ladder.)

One end of a uniform l wall and the rod is = μs 2.8418 Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. m = 4.10-m-long rod of weight w is supported by a cable at an angle of 0 = 37° with the rod. The other end rests against a wall, where it is held by friction (see figure). The coefficient of static friction between the 0.460. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional weight w (the same as the weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A. W 0 B (

Typewritten only and i'll upvote. The uniform horizontal beam supporting the sign is 1.39 m long, has a mass of 12.51 kg, and is hinged to the wall The sign itself is uniform with a mass of 27.08 kg and overall length of 1.35 m. The two wires supporting the sign are each 33.92 cm long, are 34.34 cm apart, and are equally spaced from the middle of the sign. The cable supporting the beam is 3.34 m long. What minimum vertical force must the hinge be able to support without pulling out of the wall? Note: Write your answers with 3 digits after the decimal point.
My question is why did we used sine and cosine 45 degree? Is not is supposed to be 315 degree since 45 degree is in quadrant four? Why can't we use 315 degree?
