A uniform ladder 6m long weighs 225N. It leans against a smooth vertical wall, making an angel of 53° with the horizontal ground. If the coefficient of friction between the foot of the ladder and the ground is 0.34, how far up the ladder can a 650N woman climb before the ladder starts to slip?
A uniform ladder is 10 m long and weighs 200 N. The ladder leans against a vertical, frictionless wall at a height of h = 8.0 m. A horizontal force is applied to the ladder at a distance d = 2.0 m from its base (as measured along the ladder). Suppose the coefficient of static friction is .38; for what minimum value of the horizontal force applied will the base of the ladder just barely start to move TOWARD the wall? Be sure to draw in all forces acting on the ladder

Hi I needed help with this question. As shown in the figure below, a uniform beam is supported by a cable at one end and the force of friction at the other end. The cable makes an angle of ? = 30°, the length of the beam is L = 2.00 m, the coefficient of static friction between the wall and the beam is ?s = 0.600 and the weight of the beam is represented by w. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional weight 2w (twice the weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A. X=?
