Chapter 6, Problem 6.41SP
A ladder, 8 m long and having a mass of 25 kg, rests on a horizontal floor and is supported by a vertical wall. The ladder is inclined 62° as shown, and starts to slip when a person having a mass of 73 kg has climbed halfway up it. The coefficient of friction at the wall is 0.20. Assume the weight of the ladder to be concentrated at its midpoint. Calculate the coefficient of friction at the floor.

A 25-kg ladder, 4m long rests on a rough floor and against a vertical wall. The ladder makes an angle of 35o with the horizontal as shown. It starts to slip when a man weighing 75 kg has climbed halfway up. If coefficient of friction at the wall is 0.2, determine the coefficient of friction at the floor.
body resting on a rough horizontal plane requires a pull of 300 N
inclined at 40º to the horizontal plane just to move it. It is found that a
push of 150 N inclined at 40o
to the x-axis can also make the body to
move. Determine the weight of the body and the coefficient of friction.
