Logan B. Taylor is a widower whose wife, Sara, died on June 6, 2016. He lives at 4680 Dogwood Lane, Springfield, MO 65801. He is employed as a paralegal by a local law firm. During 2018, he had the following receipts:

Salary $ 80,000
Interest income—
   Money market account at Omni Bank $300
   Savings account at Boone State Bank 1,100
   City of Springfield general purpose bonds 3,000 4,400
Inheritance from Daniel 60,000
Life insurance proceeds 200,000
Amount from sale of St. Louis lot 80,000
Proceeds from estate sale 9,000
Federal income tax refund (for 2017 tax overpayment) 700

Logan inherited securities worth $60,000 from his uncle, Daniel, who died in 2018. Logan also was the designated beneficiary of an insurance policy on Daniel's life with a maturity value of $200,000. The lot in St. Louis was purchased on May 2, 2013, for $85,000 and held as an investment. Because the neighborhood has deteriorated, Logan decided to cut his losses and sold the lot on January 5, 2018, for $80,000. The estate sale consisted largely of items belonging to Sara and Daniel (e.g., camper, boat, furniture, and fishing and hunting equipment). Logan estimates that the property sold originally cost at least twice the $9,000 he received and has declined or stayed the same in value since Sara and Daniel died.

Logan's expenditures for 2018 include the following:

Medical expenses (including $10,500 for dental) $11,500
Taxes—
   State of Missouri income tax (includes withholdings during 2018) $4,200
       Property taxes on personal residence 4,500 8,700
Interest on home mortgage (Boone State Bank) 5,600
Contribution to church (paid pledges for 2018 and 2019) 4,800

Logan and his dependents are covered by his employer's health insurance policy for all of 2018. However, he is subject to a deductible, and dental care is not included. The $10,500 dental charge was for Helen's implants. Helen is Logan's widowed mother, who lives with him (see below). Logan normally pledges $2,400 ($200 per month) each year to his church. On December 5, 2018, upon the advice of his pastor, he prepaid his pledge for 2019.

Logan's household, all of whom he supports, includes the following:

Social Security Number Birth Date
Logan Taylor (age 48) 123-45-6787 08/30/1970
Helen Taylor (age 70) 123-45-6780 01/13/1948
Asher Taylor (age 23) 123-45-6783 07/18/1995
Mia Taylor (age 22) 123-45-6784 02/16/1996

Helen receives a modest Social Security benefit. Asher, a son, is a full-time student in dental school and earns $4,500 as a part-time dental assistant. Mia, a daughter, does not work and is engaged to be married.

Federal income tax of $4,500 was withheld from his wages.

A ladder of length 2L and mass M is positioned on level ground leaning against a wall such

that the angle between the ladder and the horizontal is α. The coefficient of static friction

between the ladder and the wall and between the ladder and the ground is μstatic = 0.65. The

centre of mass of the ladder is halfway along it.

(b) Draw a diagram indicating all the forces acting on the ladder, and state what each force

represents. Also show the direction of the x- and y-axes you will use. (Hint: there are 2

forces acting at the top of the ladder, 2 forces acting on the bottom of the ladder and 1 force

acting at its centre.)

(c) For the ladder to be in mechanical equilibrium:

(i) Write down equations for the total x- and y-components of the 5 forces acting on the

ladder.

(ii) Consider torques about the centre of the ladder. In which direction (into or out of the

page) does the torque due to each of the 5 forces force act?

(iii) Write down an equation for the sum of the torques about the centre of mass of the

ladder.

(iv) Use your equation for the torques to derive an expression for tan α in terms of the

magnitudes of the forces acting.

(d)(i) If the ladder is just on the point of slipping at both the upper and lower ends, what

can you say about the pair of forces acting at each of the top and bottom of the ladder?

(ii) Hence use this information, with the information from (c)(i) and the expression you have

derived in (c)(iv) to calculate the minimum angle that the ladder can form with the ground

in order for it not to slip. (Hint : In the expression for tan α, you will need to write each of

the forces in terms of one of the normal reaction forces, which then cancel out, leaving an

expression for tan α in terms of μstatic only.)

Please answer and provide explanation on how to solve these problems. Thank you!

1) A block of mass 5.67 kg rests on a horizontal table. The block is pushed with a force of 70.2N that makes an angles of 25.0 degrees with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and surface of the table is 0.256. What is the acceleration of the block? What is its speed after traveling 2.30m?

2) The volume and the pressure of the Argon gas of 2.00 mol are 2.000L and 10.0atm respectively. The molar mass of Argon is 40.00 g/mol. Wha id the vrms speed of argon atom?

Compare this with vrms speed of hydrogen under the same conditions! Molar mass of hydrogen is 2,00g/mol.

1 atm = 10^5 Pa; 1L = 10^-3 m^3. R = 8.314 J/mol.k

3)A 250.0 g of copper calorimeter contain 500.0g of water at 20.0C. A block of mass 100.0g at 25.00C of water at 85.00C are added to the calorimeter. When thermal equilibrium is reached the final temperature of the system is 50.00C. What is the specific heat of the block?

Specific heat: Copper = 387J/kg.C; Water = 4186J/Kg.C
