A 1,071.628 N painter needs to climb d=1.926 m up a ladder (measured along its length from the point where the ladder contacting the ground), without the ladder slipping. The uniform ladder is 12.014 m long and weighs 250 N. It rests with one end on the ground and the other end against a perfectly smooth vertical wall. The ladder rises at an angle of theta=51.96 degrees above the horizontal floor. What is friction force in unit of N that the floor must exert on the ladder? Use g = 10 m/s2 if you need to .
The frictional force in unit of N that the floor must exert on the ladder is approximately 232.216 N
The known values are;
The weight of the painter = 1,071.628 N
The height to which the painter needs to climb along the ladder = 1.926 m
The length of the ladder = 12.014 m
The weight of the ladder = 250 N
The points where one of the ladder's ends is resting = On the ground
The points where the other end of the ladder is resting = A perfectly smooth wall
The angle with which the ladder rises above the horizontal floor = 51.96°
The acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 10 m/s²
The unknown values include;
The friction force that the floor must exert on the ladder
The strategy to be used;
At equilibrium, the sum of moments about a point is zero
Finding the moments about the point of contact where the ladder rests on the wall, P, is given as follows;
At equilibrium, the sum of clockwise, [tex]M_{CW}[/tex], moment about P = The sum of the counterclockwise, [tex]M_{CCW}[/tex]moment about P
[tex]\mathbf{M_{CCW}}[/tex] = (12.014 - 1.926) × cos(51.96°) × 1,071.628 + (12.014/2) × cos(51.96°) × 250
[tex]\mathbf{M_{CW}}[/tex] = 12.014 × cos(51.96°) × [tex]\mathbf{F_N}[/tex]
Where;
[tex]\mathbf{F_N}[/tex] = The normal reaction of the of the ground on the end of the ladder that rests on the floor
[tex]\mathbf{M_{CCW}}[/tex] = [tex]\mathbf{M_{CW}}[/tex]
∴ (12.014 - 1.926) × cos(51.96°) × 1,071.628 + (12.014/2) × cos(51.96°) × 250 = 12.014 × cos(51.96°) × [tex]F_N[/tex]
We get;
6,665.3068846 N·m = 7.40316448688 m × [tex]F_N[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{F_N}[/tex] = 6,665.3068846 N·m/(7.40316448688 m) = 900.332135 N
The normal reaction of the floor on the ladder, [tex]\mathbf{F_N}[/tex] = 900.332135 N
Taking moment about the point the ladder rests on the floor, R, gives;
[tex]M_{CCW}[/tex] = 12.014 × sin(51.96°) × [tex]F_W[/tex]
Where;
[tex]\mathbf{F_W}[/tex] = The normal reaction at the wall
[tex]M_{CW}[/tex] = 1.926 × cos(51.96°) × 1,071.628 + (12.014/2) × cos(51.96°) × 250
At equilibrium, we have, [tex]M_{CCW}[/tex] = [tex]M_{CW}[/tex]
Therefore;
12.014 × sin(51.96°) × [tex]F_W[/tex] = 1.926 × cos(51.96°) × 1,071.628 + (12.014/2) × cos(51.96°) × 250
9.46199511627 m × [tex]F_W[/tex] = 2,197.22861125 N·m
[tex]F_W[/tex] = 2,197.22861125 N·m/(9.46199511627 m)
The reaction of the wall, [tex]\mathbf{F_W}[/tex] = 232.216206 N
We note that also at equilibrium, the sum horizontal forces = 0
The horizontal forces acting on the ladder = The normal reaction on the, [tex]F_W[/tex] wall and the friction force on the ground, [tex]\mathbf{F_f}[/tex]
∴ At equilibrium; [tex]\mathbf{F_W}[/tex] + [tex]\mathbf{F_f}[/tex] = 0
[tex]\mathbf{F_f}[/tex] = -[tex]\mathbf{F_W}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{F_W}[/tex] = 232.216206 N
Therefore;
The frictional force in unit of N that the floor must exert on the ladder, [tex]\mathbf{F_f}[/tex] = 232.216206 N ≈ 232.216 N.
(The coefficient of friction, μ = [tex]\mathbf{F_N}[/tex]/[tex]\mathbf{F_W}[/tex] = 900.332135/232.216206 ≈ 3.877).

You are designing a high-speed elevator for a new skyscraper. The elevator will have a mass limit of 2400 kg (including
passengers). For passenger comfort, you choose the maximum ascent speed to be 18.0 m/s, the maximum descent speed
to be 10.0 m/s, and the maximum acceleration magnitude to be 1.80 m/s2. Ignore friction.
What is the minimum upward force that the supporting cables exert on the elevator car?
KN
Answer:
19,224 N
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The mass limit of the elevator = 2,400 kg
The maximum ascent speed = 18.0 m/s
The maximum descent speed = 10.0 m/s
The maximum acceleration = 1.80 m/s²
Given that the acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 9.81 m/s²
The minimum upward force that the elevator cable exert on the elevator car, [tex]F_{min}[/tex] , is given in the downward motion as follows;
[tex]F_{min}[/tex] = m·g - m·a
∴ [tex]F_{min}[/tex] = 2,400 kg × 9.81 m/s² - 2,400 kg × 1.80 m/s² = 19,224 N
The minimum upward force that the elevator cable exert on the elevator car, [tex]F_{min}[/tex] = 19,224 N
A 0.40-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle having a radius of 1.8 m. At an instant when the string makes an angle of 40 degrees below the horizontal, the speed of the mass is 5.0 m/s. What is the magnitude of the tension in the string at this instant
Answer:

A stone dropped from the top of a 80m high building strikes the ground at 40 m/s after falling for 4 seconds. The stone's potential energy with respect to the ground is equal to its kinetic energy … (use g = 10 m/s 2)
A) at the moment of impact.
B) 2 seconds after the stone is released.
C) after the stone has fallen 40 m.
D) when the stone is moving at 20 m/s.
At the moment of impact both Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy should be 0, right? So it can't be A), right? Or is this wrong? Is it indeed A)? Please show work and explain it well.
Answer:
Explanation:
The answer is C because the building is 80 meters high. Before the stone is dropped, it has ONLY potential energy since kinetic energy involves velocity and a still stone has no velocity. At impact, there is no potential energy because potential energy involves the height of the stone relative to the ground and a stone ON the ground has no height; here there is ONLY kinetic.
From the First Law of Thermodynamics, we know that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form. Therefore, that means that at the halfway point of 40 meters, half of the stone's potential energy has been lost, and it has been lost to kinetic energy. Here, at 40 meters, there is an equality between PE and KE. It only last for however long the stone is AT 40 meters, which is probably a millisecond of time, but that's where they are equal.
Suppose that 2 J of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length of 34 cm to a length of 46 cm. (a) How much work is needed to stretch the spring from 36 cm to 41 cm
Answer:
0.83 J of work
Explanation:
2 J of work is required to stretch a spring from 34cm to 46cm
So that is 12cm stretched with 2 J of work
We can make that 6cm for 1 J of work
So, we need the find the work for stretching 36cm to 41cm
Which is 5cm
So, What is the work required to stretch 5cm?
1 J of work for 6cm
x work for 5cm
So, by proportion method
1 : 6 :: x : 5
6 * x = 1 * 5
6x = 5
x = 5/6
= 0.83
So to stretch 36cm to 41cm we need 0.83 J of work

()What is the net displacement D from the origin to the final position?
(ii) What is the total distance travelled by the car?
Answer:
i. -4m
ii. 20m
Explanation:
The car travels 8m to the east, then travels 12m to the west which is the opposite of the east. Going west, the car travels 8m back to the origin point and then another 4m due west to make 12m. The displacement from the origin point is -4 (the negative sign shows the direction because displacement is a vector quantity)
Total distance = 8m going east + 8m back to origin + 4m west = 20m
What gauge pressure is required in the city water mains for a stream from a fire hose connected to the mains to reach a vertical height of 15.0 m
Answer:
The gauge pressure is equal to 147 kPa.
Explanation:
The pressure exerted by fluid is given by :
[tex]P=\rho gh[/tex]
Where
[tex]\rho[/tex] is density of water
h is height
So, put all the values,
[tex]P=1000\times 9.8\times 15\\\\P=147000\ Pa[/tex]
or
P = 147 kPa
So, the gauge pressure is equal to 147 kPa.
Answer:
The gauge pressure is 147000 Pa.
Explanation:
Height, h = 15 m
density of water, d= 1000 kg/m^3
gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2
The gauge pressure is the pressure exerted by the fluid.
The pressure exerted by the fluid is given by
P = h d g
P = 15 x 1000 x 9.8 = 147000 Pa
You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. Car A weighs 690.0 kg and was traveling eastward. Car B weighs 520.0 kg and was traveling westward at 74.0 km/h. The cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 6.00 m before stopping. You have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750. 1) How fast (in kilometer per hour) was car A traveling just before the collision
Answer:
The speed of car A before collision is 3.5 km/h.
Explanation:
Mass of car A = 690 kg eastwards
Mass of car B = 520 kg at 74 km/h west wards
Distance, s = 6 m
coefficient of friction = 0.75
Let the speed after collision is v.
Use third equation of motion
[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2 as \\\\0 =v^2- 2 \times 0.75\times9.8\times 6\\\\v = 9.4 m/s = 33.84 km/h[/tex]
Let the initial speed of car A is v'.
Use conservation of momentum
690 x v' - 520 x 74 = (690 + 520) x 33.8
690 v' + 38480 = 40898
v' = 3.5 km/h

A 1030 kg car has four 12.0 kg wheels. When the car is moving, what fraction of the total kinetic energy of the car is due to rotation of the wheels about their axles
Answer:
The required fraction is 0.023.
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of a car, m = 1030 kg
Mass of 4 wheels = 12 kg
We need to find the fraction of the total kinetic energy of the car is due to rotation of the wheels about their axles.
The rotational kinetic energy due to four wheel is
[tex]=4\times \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2\\\\=4\times \dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{2}mR^2(\dfrac{v}{R})^2\\\\=mv^2[/tex]
Linear kinetic Energy of the car is:
[tex]=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times Mv^2[/tex]
Fraction,
[tex]f=\dfrac{mv^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}Mv^2}\\\\f=\dfrac{m}{\dfrac{1}{2}M}\\\\f=\dfrac{12}{\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1030}\\\\=0.023[/tex]
So, the required fraction is 0.023.

Answer:
the instantaneous velocity is 51 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
acceleration, a = 2 + 5t²
Acceleration is the change in velocity with time.
[tex]a = \frac{dv}{dt} \\\\a = 2 + 5t^2\\\\The \ acceleration \ (a) \ is \ given \ so \ we \ have \ to \ find \ the \ velocity \ (v)\\\\To \ find \ the \ velocity, \ integrate\ both \ sides \ of \ the \ equation\\\\2 + 5t^2 = \frac{dv}{dt} \\\\\int\limits^3_0 {(2 + 5t^2)} \, dt = dv\\\\v = [2t + \frac{5t^3}{3} ]^3_0\\\\v = 2(3) + \frac{5(3)^3}{3} \\\\v = 6 + 5(3)^2\\\\v = 6 + 45\\\\v = 51 \ m/s[/tex]

A series of pulses, each of amplitude 0.1 m, is sent down a string that is attached to a post at one end. The pulses are reflected at the post and travel back along the string without loss of amplitude. What is the net displacement at a point on the string where two pulses are crossing
Answer:
A_resulting = 0.2 m
Explanation:
Let's analyze the impact of the pulse with the pole, this is a fixed obstacle that does not move therefore by the law of action and reluctant, the force that the pole applies on the rope is of equal magnitude to the force of the rope on the pole (pulse), but opposite directional, so the reflected pulse reverses its direction and sense.
With this information we analyze a point on the string where the incident pulse is and each reflected with an amplitude A = 0.1 m, the resulting is
A_res = 2A
A_resultant = 2 .01
A_resulting = 0.2 m

Hooke's law gives the relationship between the force applied and observed compression and expansion
(a) Hooke's law states that force applied is proportional to the deformation of an object
(b) The tube becomes warm from the excess of the energy absorbed but not given off back as the straightening of the tyre
The reason for the above explanation are as follows;
(a) Hooke's law states that for little deformations, the change in the dimension, Δx, of an extended or compressed object is directly proportional to the applied force, F
Mathematically, we get;
F = k × ΔL
[tex]k = \mathbf{\dfrac{F}{\Delta L}}[/tex]
Given that the material cross sectional area = A, and the original length of the material = L, we get;
F/A = Stress = σ, ΔL/L = strain = ε
[tex]\mathbf{Young's \ Modulus, \ E} = \mathbf{\dfrac{\sigma}{\varepsilon}} = \dfrac{\left(\dfrac{F}{A} \right) }{\left(\dfrac{\Delta L}{L} \right) } = \mathbf{\dfrac{F}{\Delta L } \times \dfrac{L}{A}}[/tex]
Therefore, Hooke's law can be expressed as a form of Young's Modulus for a given length to area ratio of a material
(b) The given graph of stress to strain curve, is attached, from which area under the curve gives the energy absorbed by the the material during deformation
Therefore during bending, the stress is increasing as shown in the top of the two curve, and the energy absorbed is given by the area under the curve
As the tyre straightens, the path of the stress change curve is given by the lower curve
The area under the top (bending) curve is larger than the area under the lower (straightening) curve, therefore, the energy absorbed during bending is larger than the energy given off during straightening
Energy absorbed < Energy released
The balance energy is transformed into other forms of energy, including heat energy, which is observed by the raising in temperature, warming, of the tyre
Energy absorbed = Energy released + Heat energy

A mother is pulling a sled at constant velocity by means of a rope at 37°. The tension on the rope is 120 N. Mass of children plus sled is 55 kg. The mother has a mass of 61 kg. Find the static friction acting on the mother.
Answer:
f = 106.3 N
Explanation:
The force applied on the sled must be equal to the static frictional force to move the sled:
Tension Force Horizontal Component = Static Frictional Force
[tex]TCos\theta = \mu W\\TCos\theta = \mu mg[/tex]
where,
T = Tension = 120 N
θ = angle of rope = 37°
μ = coefficient of static friction = ?
m = mass of children plus sled = 55 kg
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
Therefore,

If 10 W of power is supplied to 1 kg of water at 100℃, how long will it take to for the water to completely boil away? The time calculated is a little less than actual time of boiling in practice. Why?
Answer:
t = 2.26 x 10⁵ s
Explanation:
The energy supplied to the water will be equal to the heat required for the boiling of water:
E = ΔQ
Pt = mL
where,
P = Power = 10 W
t = time = ?
m = mass of water = 1 kg
L = Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg
Therefore,
[tex](10\ W)t = (1\ kg)(2.26\ x\ 10^6\ J/kg)\\\\t = \frac{2.26\ x\ 10^6\ J}{10\ W}\\\\[/tex]
t = 2.26 x 10⁵ s
This time will be less than the actual time taken due to some heat loss during the transmission of this heat energy to the container in which water is held.
Here we will use a simple example to demonstrate the difference between the rms speed and the average speed. Five ideal-gas molecules chosen at random are found to have speeds of 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900 m/s. Find the rms speed for this collection. Is it the same as the average speed of these molecules
Explanation:
Given that,
Five ideal-gas molecules chosen at random are found to have speeds of 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900 m/s.
The rms speed for this collection is as follows :
[tex]v_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{v_1^2+v_2^2+v_3^2+v_4^2+v_5^2}{5}} \\\\v_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{500^2+600^2+700^2+800^2+900^2}{5}} \\\\v_{rms}=714.14[/tex]
The average speed of these molecules is :
[tex]v_{a}=\dfrac{v_1+v_2+v_3+v_4+v_5}{5}} \\\\v_{a}={\dfrac{500+600+700+800+900}{5}} \\\\v_{a}=700\ m/s[/tex]
So, the rms speed is 714.14 m/s abd the average speed is 700 m/s.
Two identical cars, each traveling at 16 m>s, slam into a concrete wall and come to rest. In car A the air bag does not deploy and the driver hits the steering wheel; in car B the driver contacts the deployed air bag. (a) Is the impulse delivered by the steering wheel to driver A greater than, less than, or equal to the impulse delivered by the air bag to driver B
Answer:
I = - m 16 the two impulses are the same,
Explanation:
The impulse is given by the relationship
I = Δp
I = p_f - p₀
in this case the final velocity is zero therefore p_f = 0
I = -p₀
For driver A the steering wheel impulse is
I = - m v₀
I = - m 16
For driver B, the airbag gives an impulse
I = - m 16
We can see that the two impulses are the same, the difference is that in the air bag more time is used to give this impulse therefore the force on the driver is less

[tex]F =\frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]
when mass remains same, radius is doubled and the force is same, so the velocity is v'.
[tex]F =\frac{mv^2}{r}=\frac{mv'^2}{2r}\\\\v'=v\sqrt 2[/tex]
Army is standing still on the ground; Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westward. How fast does Bill see Carlos moving and in what direction?
a. 10 mis eastward
b. 5 m/s eastward
c. 15 m/s westward
d. 20 m/s westward
e. 10 m/s westward
Explanation:
Given that,
Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westward.
Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:
[tex]v_B=+5\ m/s[/tex]is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)
[tex]v_c=15\ m/s[/tex] is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy.
Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is
[tex]v_B=+5\ m/s[/tex]
Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be
[tex]v_c'=-15\ m/s-(+5\ m/s)\\\\=-20\ m/s[/tex]
So, the magnitude is 20 m/s and the direction is westward (negative sign).
