A straight ladder is leaning against the wall of a house. The ladder has rails 4.90 m long, joined by rungs 0.410 m long. Its bottom end is on solid but sloping ground so that the top of the ladder is 0.690 m to the left of where it should be, and the ladder is unsafe to climb. You want to put a flat rock under one foot of the ladder to compensate for the slope of the ground. (a) What should be the thickness of the rock? (b) Does using ideas from this chapter make it easier to explain the solution to part (a)? Explain your answer.

A horizontal force is applied to the ladder at distance d = 2.0 m from its base (measured along the ladder). (a) If force magnitude F = 50 N, what is the force of the ground on the ladder, in unit-vector notation? (b) If F = 150 N, what is the force of the ground on the ladder, also in unit-vector notation? (c) Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is 0.38; for what minimum value of the force magnitude F will the base of the ladder just barely start to move toward the wall?arrow_forward. A carpenter and his assistant are to carry a uniform wooden beam, which is 6 m long and weighs 100 kg, on their shoulders. Both men are of the same height so that the beam is carried horizontally. However, the carpenter is the stronger of the two and wishes to bear 50% more of the weight of the beam than his assistant. If one end of the beam is placed on the assistant's shoulder, how far from the other end of the beam should the carpenter put his shoulder?

The cable on the left end makes an angle of 120 with x-axis and the cable on the right end makes an angle of 30̊ with the x-axis.

- To get up on the roof, a person with a mass m = 71 kg leans an aluminum ladder (mass 10.5 kg and length 6.0 m) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder just overhangs a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to be frictionless, so the force from the gutter on the ladder acts perpendicularly to the ladder. As a result, the top of the ladder experiences a normal force at an angle, while the bottom of the ladder experiences both a vertical normal force and a horizontal friction force. The center of mass of the ladder is 2 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3 m from the bottom. a.) What is the magnitude of the net force on the ladder at the top? Give your answer in newtons b.) What is the magnitude of the net force on the ladder at the bottom? Give your answer in newtonsarrow_forwardA beam is attached to a vertical wall with a hinge. The mass of the beam is 1000 kg, and it is 4 m long. A steel support wire is tied from the end of the beam to the wall, making an angle of 30° with the beam. (a) By summing the torque about the axis passing through the hinge, calculate the tension in the support wire. Assume the beam is uniform so that the weight acts at its exact center. (b) What is the minimum cross-sectional area of the steel wire so that it is not permanently stretched? The yield strength (elastic limit) for steel is 290 × 106N/m2, and the ultimate breaking strength is 400×106N/m2.arrow_forwardA construction worker attempts to lift a uniform beam off the floor and raise it to a vertical position. The beam is 2.50 m long and weighs 500 N. At a certain instant the worker holds the beam momentarily at rest with one end at distance d =1.50 m above the floor, , by exerting a force on the beam, perpendicular to the beam. (a) What is the magnitude P? (b) What is the magnitude of the (net) force of the floor on the beam? (c) What is the minimum value the coefficient of static friction between beam and floor can have in order for the beam not to slip at this instant?arrow_forward
- A uniform horizontal beam 5.00 m long and weighting 3.03 102 N is attached to a wall by a pin connection that allows the beam to rotate. Its far end is supported by a cable that makes an angle of 53.0° with the horizontal (Figure (a)). If a person weighing 6.05 102 N stands 1.60 m from the wall, find the magnitude of the tension in the cable and the force exerted by the wall on the beam. T = N Rx = N Ry = N Even if we selected some other axis for the torque equation, the solution would be the same. For example, if the axis were to pass through the center of gravity of the beam, the torque equation would involve both T and Ry. Together with Equations (1) and (2), however, the unknowns could still be found—a good exercise. In this example, notice the steps of the Problem-Solving Strategy could be carried out in the explicit recommended order.QUESTION What happens to the tension in the cable if the man in Figure (a) moves farther away from the wall?
