ladder of length 2L and mass M is positioned on level ground leaning against a wall such that the angle between the ladder and the horizontal is a. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the wall and between the ladder and the ground is jistatic = 0.66. The centre of mass ofthe ladder is halfway along it. Draw a diagram indicating all the forces acting on the ladder, and state what each force represents. Also show the direction of the a- and y-axes you will use.
Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics
In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.
Equilibrium of Forces
The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.
