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).
