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...

The coefficient of friction (static and kinetic) between an object and a surface can be measured by putting the object on an adjustable inclined plane. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for the object, assuming static friction holds it in place on the incline. (b) Find an equation that can be used to solve for µs, in terms of the angle θmax which is the largest angle that the object can sit without sliding. (Hint: You can reduce the problem to...
