A ladder of weight W stands on a rough floor and rests against a frictionless wall, illustrated above. It is only stable if the angle between the ladder and the ground is greater than theta (theta > 60 degree). a. Find the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the ladder. b. A child of weight 4W places the ladder against the wall at angle 70 degree(theta = 70 degree). Calculate how far up the ladder it is safe for the child to climb.

Torque

Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force in physics and mechanics. Based on the course of study, it is also known as the moment of force, rotational force, or turning effect.
