Let us say that we have a ladder with its own length (L) and its own mass (m) this ladder just so happens to make a (θ) degree angle with a wall. The center of mass of this ladder is 1/3 of the way up from the bottom (it gets narrower towards the top). A person of mass M then decides to climb the ladder until he comes to the halfway point. Wall has no friction but the ground has on the ladder.. a) Draw this situation and label forces so you may set up the statics equations. b) Find the force on the ladder due to the ground (both x and y components) and the force on the ladder due to the wall.

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement is .15. If the drag strip is 1000 m long, determine:a. The net force on the dragster. b. The acceleration of the dragster. c. The time it takes for the dragster to finish the race.d. The dragster's velocity at the end of the race.The dragster now needs to slow down, so it opens a parachute. The force of air drag is 3500 N. The driver also locks the brakes of the dragster, and the coefficient of kinetic friction becomes .75. Determine:a. How long it will take to stop the dragster.b. The distance the dragster travels while stopping.
Required information A photograph of the NASA Apollo 16 Lunar Module (abbreviated by NASA as the LM) is shown on the surface of the Moon. Such spacecraft made six Moon landings during 1969 - 72. A simplified model for one of the four landing gear assemblies of the LM is shown. Assume the weight of the LM is uniformly supported by all four landing gear assemblies, and neglect friction between the landing gear and the surface of the Moon. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part.
