A window washer weighing 825.6 N is standing on a scaffold supported by a vertical rope at each end. The scaffold weighs 262.5 N and is 4.034 m long. What is the force in each rope when the window washer stands 1.48 m from one end?
- Force in Rope 1 (Rope closest to the window washer.) =
- Force in Rope 2 (Rope farthest from the window washer.) =

Find the horizontal and vertical forces (in N) the ground exerts on the base of the ladder when an 810-N firefighter has climbed 4.10 m along the ladder from the bottom. B. If the ladder is just on the verge of slipping when the firefighter is 9.40 m from the bottom, what is the coefficient of static friction between ladder and ground? C. If oil is spilled on the ground, causing the coefficient of static friction to drop to half the value found in part (b), what is the maximum distance (in m) the firefighter can climb along the ladder from the bottom before the ladder slips?arrow_forward

- A uniform 10.0 m ladder of weight WL=375 N leans against a frictionless wall. There is a force of static friction between the floor and the bottom of the ladder. A person weighing Wp stands 7.4 m between the bottom of the ladder. Draw a free body diagram for the ladder. Draw a torque diagram for the ladder. Determine the force that the wall exerts on the top of the ladder. Determine the force of static friction exerted on the ladder by the floor.arrow_forwardA 3.0-m -long ladder, as shown in (Figure 1), leans against a frictionless wall.

A 45 kg box sits 1 m from the left end. Find the tension in the rope on the right. Hint: With forces applied at different places, this is a beam problem pick a pivot point measure all distances from the pivot point Apply Στ = 0 Don't forget torque = force x dist, so you need to multiply the masses by g = 9.8 m/s2 If you need more information, apply ΣF = 0arrow_forward
