One end of a uniform meter stick is placed against a vertical wall ( Fig. P11.66 ). The other end is held by a lightweight cord that makes an angle θ with the stick. The coefficient of static friction between the end of the meter stick and the wall is 0.40. (a) What is the maximum value the angle θ can have if the stick is to remain in equilibrium? (b) Let the angle θ be 15°. A block of the same weight as the meter stick is suspended from the stick, as shown, at a distance x from the wall. What is the minimum value of x for which the stick will remain in equilibrium? (c) When θ = 15°, how large must the coefficient of static friction be so that the block can be attached 10 cm from the left end of the stick without causing it to slip?

2. A stone is dropped into a pool of water causing ripple to spread out. After 10 s
the circumference of the ripple is 20 m. Calculate the velocity of the wave.
10. Imagine you have a system in which you have 54 grams of ice. You can melt this
ice and then vaporize it all at 0 C. The melting and vaporization are done reversibly
into a balloon held at a pressure of 0.250 bar. Here are some facts about water you
may wish to know. The density of liquid water at 0 C is 1 g/cm³. The density of ice at 0
C is 0.917 g/cm³. The enthalpy of vaporization of liquid water is 2.496 kJ/gram and the
enthalpy of fusion of solid water is 333.55 J/gram.
A. How much energy does the ice absorb as heat when it melts?
B. How much work is involved in melting the ice?
