Equilibrium: A 10.0-kg uniform ladder that is 2.50 m long is placed against a smooth vertical wall and reaches to a hei of 2.10 m, as shown in the figure. The base of the ladder rests on a rough horizontal floor whose coefficient of static friction with the ladder is 0.800. An 80.0-kg bucket of concrete is suspended from the top rung of the ladder, right ne to the wall, as shown in the figure. What is the magnitude of the friction force that the floor exerts on the ladder?

A uniform L = 6.71 m long horizontal beam that weighs WB= 363N is attached to a wall by a pin connection that allows the beam to rotate. Its far end is supported by a cablewith tension Tthat makes an angle of 50.0° with the horizontal, and a person of weight WP= 427.5N is standing d = 2.38m from the pin. Find the magnitude of the force R exertedon the beam by the wall if the beam is in equilibrium. A)532N B)534N C)536N D)538N
A homeowner is trying to move a stubborn rock from his yard. By using a a metal rod as a lever arm and a fulcrum (or pivot point) the homeowner will have a better chance of moving the rock. The homeowner places the fulcrum a distance d = 0.255 m from the rock, which has a mass of 405 kg, and fits one end of the rod under the rock's center of weight. If the homeowner can apply a maximum force of 695 N at the other end of the rod, what is the minimum total length L of the rod required to move the rock? Assume that the rod is massless and nearly horizontal so that the weight of the rock and homeowner's force are both essentially vertical. The acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s². L =

A ladder, mass 50kg, 6m long is leaning so that it makes a 20° angle with a smooth wall. A student wants to climb the ladder so that his centre of mass will be 2/3rd of the way up. If the students mass is 100kg find the normal force from the wall. Will this much force from the wall cause the ladder to slip sideways if the coefficient of static friction at the floor is 1.0?
A 12.0 kg monkey climbs up a 135 N uniform ladder of length L leaning against the wall at an angle of 25°. The upper end of the ladder has a coefficient of friction of 0.25 and lower end of the ladder rests on a frictionless surface, but the lower end is attached to the wall by a horizontal rope that can support a maximum tension of 120 N. (a) Find the tension in the rope when the monkey is one third of the way up the ladder. (b) Find the maximum distance d (expressed as a fraction of L) that the monkey can climb up the ladder before the rope breaks.

A tightrope walker stands on a wire that is supported by a pole at each end. The tightrope walker creates a tension of 3.42 ✕ 103 N in a wire making an angle 6.2° below the horizontal with each supporting pole. Calculate how much this tension stretches the steel wire (in cm) if it was originally 16 m long and 0.50 cm in diameter. This question keeps getting rejected as incomplete. This is not incomplete. There is no image to accompany it. This is the entire question. PLEASE stop rejecting it. It is getting incredibly frustrating.

Hi I needed help with this question. As shown in the figure below, a uniform beam is supported by a cable at one end and the force of friction at the other end. The cable makes an angle of ? = 30°, the length of the beam is L = 2.00 m, the coefficient of static friction between the wall and the beam is ?s = 0.600 and the weight of the beam is represented by w. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional weight 2w (twice the weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A. X=?
