A ladder is leaning against a vertical wall, and both ends of the ladder are at the point of slipping. The coefficient of fricti

on between the ladder and the horizontal surface is μ1 = 0.195 and the coefficient of friction between the ladder and the wall is μ2 = 0.253. Determine the maximum angle with the vertical the ladder can make without falling on the ground.

Here:
Sum Fx| Fgx=Fw
SumFy| Fgy=mg-mu2xFw
SumTorques | Fw(Lcos(theta))=mg(L/2)sin(theta) - Now,this leads to-->Fw=Fg=(mg)/(2tan(theta))For no slipping Fgx<=mu1(Fgy)

Just make the substitutions and it gets ugly but the final thing you get should be 

theta= arctan[(1-mu1x mu2)/(2mu1)) , which equals 67.946 then subtract from 90 and viola!
you get the answer of 22.305

Explanation: the precursor to this question will had been this

the precursor to the question can be found online.

ff the mass of the block is too large and the block is too close to the left end of the bar (near string B) then the horizontal bar may become unstable (i.e., the bar may no longer remain horizontal). What is the smallest possible value of x such that the bar remains stable (call it xcritical)

. from the principle of moments which states that sum of clockwise moments must be equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments. aslo sum of upward forces is equal to sum of downward forces

smallest possible value of x such that the bar remains stable (call it xcritical)

∑τA = 0 = m2g(d− xcritical)− m1g( −d)

xcritical = d− m1 /m2 ( L /2−d)

Describe the energy transformations that take place when a skier starts skiing down a hill but after a time is brought to rest b
Andrews [41]
<span>The skier will transform their gravitational energy into mostly kinetic energy (with a minor amount transformed into heat from the friction of the skis across the snow and air friction). Once the skier hits the snowdrift, their kinetic energy is transferred into the snow which moves when they strike it due to the kinetic energy that is now in the snow. Along with again a minor amount of heat energy transferred as they move through the snowdrift.</span>

A vertical spring of constant k = 400 N/m hangs at rest. When a 2 kg mass is attached to it, and it is released, the spring exte
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

4.9 cm

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

F = ke......................... Equation 1

Where F= force, e = extension, k = spring constant.

Note: the Force acting on the the spring is the weight of the mass.

W = mg.

F = mg.................... Equation 2

Where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

mg = ke

make e the subject of the equation

e = mg/k............... Equation 3.

Given: m = 2 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², k = 400 N/m

e = (2×9.8)/400

e = 19.6/400

e = 0.049 m

e = 4.9 cm

Consider the following spectrum where two colorful lines (A and B) are positioned on a dark background. The violet end of the sp
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

This type of spectrum is called line emission spectrum . Because it consists of lines . It is emission spectrum because it is due to emission of radiation from a source .

b ) The wavelength of a photon  is inversely proportional to its energy .  Photon  due to transition between n = 1 and n = 3 will have higher energy than

that due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 . So the later photon ( B)  will have greater wavelength or photon  due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 will have greater wavelength .

An object initially at rest experiences a constant horizontal acceleration due to the action of a resultant force applied for 10
Marianna [84]

Answer:

a = 18.28 ft/s²

Explanation:

given,

time of force application, t= 10 s

Work = 10 Btu

mass of the object = 15 lb

acceleration, a =  ? ft/s²

1 btu = 778.15 ft.lbf

10 btu = 7781.5 ft.lbf

m = \dfrac{15}{32.174}\ slug

m = 0.466 slug

now,

work done  is equal to change in kinetic energy

W = \dfrac{1}{2} m (v_f^2-v_i^2)

7781.5 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.466\times v_f^2

 v_f = 182.75\ ft/s

now, acceleration of object

  a = \dfrac{v_f-v_o}{t}

  a = \dfrac{182.75-0}{10}

         a = 18.28 ft/s²

constant acceleration of the object is equal to 18.28 ft/s²
