The drawing shows an A-shaped ladder. Both sides of the ladder are equal in length. This ladder is standing on a frictionless horizontal surface, and only the crossbar (which has a negligible mass) of the " A " keeps the ladder from collapsing. The ladder is uniform and has a mass of 15.2Kg. Det k mine the tension in the crossbar of the ladder.
A uniform ladder whose length is 6.0 m and whose weight is 43O N leans against a frictionless vertical wall. The coefficient of static friction between the level ground and the foot of the ladder is 0.42. What is the greatest distance the foot of the ladder can be placed from the base of the wall without the ladder immediately slipping?

A L=4 m long ladder with mass m=10 kg is leaning against a frictionless wall and on a floor with a friction coefficient of 0.5. The ladder's center of mass is in the middle of the ladder.

A 5.2-m ladder rests against a wall as shown. The ladder has a mass of 27.6 kg. A 56.3-kg person stands on the ladder at a distance of 3.6 m from the bottom of the ladder. The foot of the ladder is 1.9 m from the bottom of the wall. Assume there is no friction between the ladder and the wall so that the force of the wall on the ladder is acting only in the horizontal direction. However, there is a friction force between the ladder and the ground. 1.) What is the force, in N, exerted by the wall on the ladder?
A painter wishes to know whether or not he can safely stand on a ladder. The ladder has a mass M1 = 10 kg which is uniformly distributed throughout its length L = 7.1 m. The ladder is propped up at an angle theta = 49o. The coefficient of static friction between the ground and the ladder is mus = 0.49, and the wall against which the ladder is resting is frictionless. Calculate the maximum mass of the painter for which the ladder will remain stable when he climbs a distance d = 5.5 m up the ladder. If the painter does not stand on the ladder, what is the minimum angle theta for which the ladder will remain stable?
