- You are working in an ice skating rink and have been asked to hang a new banner on the wall. Your friend is helping you so that the ladder does not collapse by exerting a force FAL at an angle ϕ relative to the horizontal. See the diagram below.The ladder has a length L and makes an angle of θ with respect to the vertical wall. You have a mass, mY, and are a horizontal distance x from the wall. The ladder has a mass of mL. Because the wall is slick, and the ice on the floor is slick, the frictional forces acting on the ladder are negligible. Find a formula for the magnitude of the force that your friend must exert to keep the ladder from falling, in terms of the following variables: x,L,mY,mL,θ,ϕ. Then use the following values to get a number for the magnitude of FAL θ = 34.4 degreesϕ = 26.144 degreesx = 1.612 metersL = 6.2 metersmY = 98.0 kgmL = 32.34 kgarrow_forwardThe block shown in (Figure 1) has a mass of m = 90 kg, a height H = 1.8 m, and width L = 2.4 m .

- Problem 10 : A cord connected at one end to a block which can slide on an inclined plane has its other end wrapped around a cylinder resting in a depression at the top of the plane as shown in (Figure 1). Part A Determine the speed of the block after it has traveled 1.30 m along the plane, starting from rest. Assume there is no friction. Express your answer using two significant figures. Part B Determine the speed of the block after it has traveled 1.30 m along the plane, starting from rest. Assume the coefficient of friction between all surfaces is μ = 0.0280. Since the block is much lighter than the cylinder, ignore tension in the string when calculating the normal force on the cylinder.
