In the figure, a climber leans out against a vertical ice wall that has negligible friction. Distance a is 0.885 m and distance L is 2.00 m. His center of mass is distance d = 0.86 m from the feet-ground contact point. If he is on the verge of sliding, what is the coefficient of static friction between feet and ground? μs = Number Units

In the figure, a climber with a weight of 390 N is held by a belay rope connected to her climbing harness and belay device; the force of the rope on her has a line of action through her center of mass. The indicated angles are θ = 35∘ and φ = 35∘. If her feet are on the verge of sliding on the vertical wall, what is the coefficient of static friction between her climbing shoes and the wall? μS = Number Units

In a judo foot-sweep move, you sweep your opponent's left foot out from under him while pulling on his gi (uniform) toward that side. As a result, your opponent rotates around his right foot and onto the mat. The figure shows a simplified diagram of your opponent as you face him, with his left foot swept out. The rotational axis is through point O. The gravitational force F→g on him effectively acts at his center of mass, which is a horizontal distance d = 25 cm from point O. His mass is 84 kg, and his rotational inertia about point O is 65 kg⋅m2. What is the magnitude of his initial angular acceleration about point O if your pull F→a on his gi is (a) negligible and (b) horizontal with a magnitude of 300 N and applied at height h = 1.4 m? Assume free-fall acceleration to be equal to 9.81 m/s2. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

A copper rod of mass m = 0.963 kg rests on two horizontal rails a distance L = 1.07 m apart and carries a current of i = 53.0 A from one rail to the other. A top view and a side view are shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between rod and rails is μ = 0.680. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to the vertical) of the smallest magnetic field that puts the rod on the verge of sliding? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
