A stick with a mass of 0.214 kg and a length of 0.436 m rests in contact with a bowling ball and a rough floor, as shown in Figure 11-48. The bowling ball has a diameter of 21.6 cm, and the angle the stick makes with the horizontal is 30.0°. You may assume there is no friction between the stick and the bowling ball, though friction with the floor must be taken into account. (a) Find the magnitude of the force exerted on the stick by the bowling ball. (b) Find the horizontal component of the force exerted on the stick by the floor. (c) Repeat part (b) for the vertical component of the force.

The fissure has width w = 0.20 m, and the center of mass of the climber is a horizontal distance d = 0.45 m from the fissure. The coefficient of static friction between hands and rock is μ1 = 0.50, and between boots and rock it is μ2 = 1.15. The climber adjusts the vertical distance h between hands and feet until the (identical) pull by the hands and push by the feet is the least that keeps him from slipping down the fissure.
