A 10kg monkey climbs a uniform ladder with weight 120N and length 3m as shown in the figure. The ladder rests against the wall at an angle=60 degrees . The upper and lower ends of the ladder rest on frictionless surfaces, with the lower end fastened to the wall by a horizontal rope that can support a maximum tension of only 80N. (a) Draw a free body diagram for the ladder. (b) Find the normal force exerted on the bottom of the ladder. (c) Find the tension in the rope when the monkey is two-thirds of the way up the ladder. (d) Find the maximum distance that the monkey can climb the ladder before the rope breaks. (e) If the horizontal surface were rough and the rope were removed, how would your analysis of the problem be changed and what other information would you need to answer parts (c) and (d)?

- A block of mass m; = 4.0 kg is put on top of a block of mass mh = 7.0 kg. To cause the top block to slip on the bottom one, while the bottom one is held fixed, a horizontal force of at least 19 N must be applied to the top block. The assembly of blocks is now placed on a horizontal, frictionless table. (a) Find the magnitude of the maximum horizontal force F that can be applied to the lower block so that the blocks will move together.

This is connected to another rectangular block of mass m2 by a cord that runs over a pulley placed diagonally at the corner of the horizontal surface of the table. The rectangular block of mass m2 is suspended vertically by the side of the tabletop. (a) If the system is released from rest, what will its acceleration be?

- A sledge, of mass 15 kg, rests on a snow slope which makes an angle of 28◦ with the horizontal. A person is pushing on the back of the sledge with a force of 80 newtons, parallel to and up the slope. One end of a rope is attached to the front of the sledge. This rope is held taut by a child. The rope makes an angle of 20◦ with the upward slope. The child is pulling the rope with a force of 25 newtons and the sledge is on the point of slipping up the slope. Take the unit vector i to be in the direction up the slope and the unit vector j to be in the direction perpendicular to the slope and upwards. Express the forces in component form, in terms of unknown magnitudes where appropriate. Hence find the coefficient of static friction between the sledge and the snow, to two significant figures.arrow_forwardThe figure below shows a block weighing 22 N in contact with a vertical wall. Two forces are applied to the block, in addition to gravity, a horizontal force F of magnitude 60 N which pushes the block against a vertical wall and a force P of magnitude 62 N which pushes upward on the bottom of the block parallel to the wall. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the block is 0.55 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between them is 0.38. Is the frictional force acting on the block static or kinetic, what is its magnitude and in what direction does it point?
