A 5 m uniform ladder leans against a frictionless wall. The coefficient of friction between the ladder and the floor is 0.35. The base of the ladder is 4 m from the wall. If the ladder weighs 50 N, and a person is 3 m up the ladder (2 m from the top), what is the most this person could weigh without causing the ladder to slide? Show all work.

In the first part of this lab, you will find the coefficient of static friction between paper and a book so we want the surface of the ramp to be paper. This can be done either by making your ramp out of paper (by using a notebook) or by taping a piece of paper to the surface of a ramp. Conduct your experiment. You should perform at least three trials. Create a data table that includes all of the data...

Remarks It's interesting that the final result depends only on the coefficient of static friction. Notice also how similar Equations (1) and (2) are to the equations developed in previous problems. Recognizing such patterns is key to solving problems successfully. Question A larger static friction constant would result in a: (Select all that apply.) a) smaller component of gravitational force along the ramp at the maximum angle. b) larger maximum angle. c)smaller maximum angle. d)larger component of gravitational force along...
