Question

As shown below, on Mercury a 43 kg beam of length L is leaning against a frictionless wall and is in static equilibrium. The center of mass of the beam is located 0.2L from the lower end of the beam.

Mercury 3.7 m/s^2
 

Determine the force the beam exerts on the wall and the minimum coefficient of static friction between the floor and the beam.


force beam exerts on wall = 
?s, min = 

 

The image is a diagram illustrating a boxed inclined plane scenario. There is a right triangle formed by a black vertical line and a horizontal base. An orange rectangle, representing a block, is placed on the inclined plane.

Key features of the diagram include:

- The angle between the inclined plane (orange line) and the horizontal base is marked as 60°, shown in blue.
- A red dot is placed at the center of the rectangle indicating a point of interest.
- A dashed gray line on the incline indicates a distance of \(0.2L\) from an unspecified reference point.

This diagram is typically used in physics to study forces and motion on inclined planes.
