A 5.00 m, uniform 20 kg ladder rests on a wall, making an angle of 55◦to the ground. There is no frictionalong the wall, but a coefficient of friction of 0.300 along the ground. How high can a 75.0 kg personclimb the ladder without it slipping?
One end of a 2.00 m uniform meter stick is placed against a vertical wall. 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 0.530.
What is the maximum value that θ can have if the stick is to remainin equilibrium?
