A 14.0 m uniform ladder weighing 510 N rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes a 59.0°-angle with the horizontal. A. Find the horizontal and vertical forces (in N) the ground exerts on the base of the ladder when an 810-N firefighter has climbed 4.10 m along the ladder from the bottom. B. If the ladder is just on the verge of slipping when the firefighter is 9.40 m from the bottom, what is the coefficient of static friction between ladder and ground? C. If oil is spilled on the ground, causing the coefficient of static friction to drop to half the value found in part (b), what is the maximum distance (in m) the firefighter can climb along the ladder from the bottom before the ladder slips?
How do you do this? A hungry bear weighing 700 N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of goodies hanging at the end of the beam (see figure below). The beam is uniform, weighs 200 N, and is 6.00 m long, and it is supported by a wire at an angle of ? = 60.0°. The basket weighs 80.0 N. a) When the bear is at x = 1.00 m, find the tension (in N) in the wire supporting the beam and the components of the force exerted by the wall on the left end of the beam. b) If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 875 N, what is the maximum distance (in m) the bear can walk before the wire breaks?

A student gets his car stuck in a snow drift. Not at a loss, having studied physics, he attaches one end of a stout rope to the vehide and the other end to the trunk of a nearby tree, allowing for a small amount of slack. The student then exerts a force F on the center of the rope in the direction perpendicular to the car-tree line, as shown in the figure below. If the rope is inextensible and if the magnitude of the applied force is 504 N, what is the force on the car? (Assume equilibrium conditions.) KN 12 m Tree 0.50 m

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 ?=0.288 mfrom the rock, which has a mass of 465 kg, and fits one end of the rod under the rock's center of weight. If the homeowner can apply a maximum force of 671 N at the other end of the rod, what is the minimum total length ? 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 ?=9.81 m/s2.
