There is this ladder with a length L = 3.5 m and mass M= 15 kg leans against a smooth vertical wall, while its bottom legs rest on a rough horizontal floor. There is also static friction between floor and ladder is u = 0.47. The ladder makes an angle 0 = 55° with respect to the floor. A person of mass 8M stands on the ladder a distance d from its base. What is the magnitude of the normal force N, in newtons, exerted by the floor on the ladder? What is the largest distance up the ladder dmax, in meters, that the person can stand without the ladder slipping?
When a gymnast weighing 740 N executes the iron cross as in figure (a), the primary muscles involved in supporting this position are the latissimus dorsi ("lats") and the pectoralis major ("pecs"). The rings exert an upward force on the arms and support the weight of the gymnast. The force exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm is labeled F while the two muscles exert a total force F on the arm. Determine the magnitude of the force F Note that one ring supports half the weight of the gymnast, which is w 370 N as indicated in figure (b). Assume that the force F acts at an angle of 45° below the horizontal at a distance of 4.0 cm from the shoulder joint. In your estimate, take the distance from the shoulder joint to the hand to be L = 75 cm and ignore the weight of the arm. m kN Shoulder joint 4.0 cm- 45.00 Ed Bock/CORBIS

One end of a 2.00 m uniform meter stick is placed against a vertical wall. The other end is held by a lightweight cord that makes an angle θ with the stick. The coefficient of static friction between the end of the meter stick and the wall is 0.530. When θ = 16.5°, how large must the coefficient of static friction be so that the block can be attached 0.800 [m] from the left end of the stick without causing it to slip?
A painter wishes to know whether or not he can safely stand on a ladder. The ladder has a mass M1 = 10 kg which is uniformly distributed throughout its length L = 7.1 m. The ladder is propped up at an angle theta = 49o. The coefficient of static friction between the ground and the ladder is mus = 0.49, and the wall against which the ladder is resting is frictionless.
