You are working in an ice skating rink and have been asked to hang a new banner on the wall. Your friend is helping you so that the ladder does not collapse by exerting a force F_AL at an angle ϕ relative to the horizontal. The ladder has a length L and makes an angle of θ with respect to the vertical wall. You have a mass, m_Y, and are a horizontal distance x from the wall. The ladder has a mass of m_L. Because the wall is slick, and the ice on the floor is slick, the frictional forces acting on the ladder are negligible. Find a formula for the magnitude of the force that your friend must exert to keep the ladder from falling, in terms of the following variables: x,L,m_Y,m_L,θ,ϕ. Then use the following values to get a number for the magnitude of F_AL. θ = 30.3 degrees ϕ = 23.028 degrees x = 1.491 meters L = 7.1 meters m_Y = 86.0 kg m_L = 42.14 kg Find the magnitudes of: F_AL, normal force of the wall on the ladder (N_WL), and normal force of the floor on the ladder (N_FL).

The 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? F P
