Transcribed Image Text:A 30kg ladder is leaned against a wall so that it makes an angle
of theta with respect to the floor. Theta is (55+xx)degrees (where
xx is your day of birth from 01 to 31), so an angle of
55+15 = 70degrees if you were born on the 15th, etc. The top of
the ladder rests frictionlessly against the wall, and the coefficient
of friction between the foot of the ladder and the floor is 0.250
An 80kg person wants to know if they can safely climb
a) one third of the way up the ladder and/or
b) to the top.
1 Sketch this above, with a FBD for the ladder. Include all relevant
forces.
2 State the equilibrium equations for this ladder.
3 Solve for the Normal force the wall places on the ladder; show
your work.
4 Solve for the Normal force the floor places on the ladder; show
your work.
5 What is the maximum frictional force the floor can put on the
ladder (show)?
6 Using torques, show whether the person can climb
to 1/3 of the ladder and separately
to the top of the ladder.
