A uniform ladder of mass mL = 12.3 kg and length L = 3.80 m is leaned against a frictionless wall at an angle of θ = 23.4∘, as shown in Figure 2. A human, of mass mh = 83.8 kg, stands a distance d = 1.10 m up the ladder as shown. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground that will prevent the ladder from slipping?

A ladder (length L, and uniformly distributed mass, mL), is leaning against a wall at an angle of θ (see figure below). A man (mass mM ) is standing on a rung of the ladder that is a distance of L/3 from the floor measured along the ladder. The vertical wall is frictionless, and the horizontal floor has a non-zero coefficient of friction, μ. a) (3 Points) Draw a free body diagram indicating all forces acting on the ladder as vectors, and label each one. b) (3 Points) Determine the Normal forces (one provided by the floor, and the other provided by the wall) as functions of the available constants (θ, mM, mL, L, μ, and the acceleration due to gravity, g). c) (4 points) What value of μ is needed to keep the ladder from slipping?

One end of a uniform 3.80-m-long rod of weight Fg is supported by a cable at an angle of θ = 37º with the rod. The other end rests against the wall, where it is held by friction as shown in the figure below. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod μs = 0.450. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional object, also with the same weight Fg, can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.

A block of mass 3.00 kg is pushed up against a wall by a force P that makes an angle of 50∘ with the horizontal as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is 0.250. a) What is the minimum value of P that will keep the block from sliding down? b) What is the maximum value of P that will keep the block from sliding up?
