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 blue cart has a fan attached and it’s mass is 660g. The red cart is 240 g. The other data necessary for the question is in the table provided below. Thanks!
In the situation shown in image, let u be the angle of the slope and suppose there is friction between the cart and the track. You find that if the cart and bucket each have the same weight w, they remain at rest when released. In this case, what is the magnitude of the friction force on the cart? Is it less than, greater than, or equal to w?
A 6-m long ladder has a mass of 13 kg., and its center of gravity is 2.4 m from the bottom along the ladder. The ladder is resting on a 5° upward sloping floor at A and on a wall inclined to the right at 5° from the vertical at B, so that it makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal. How far up along the ladder can a 78-kg man climb before the ladder is on the verge of slipping? The angle of friction at all contact surfaces is 15°. Also determine the total reaction at A and B in Newton. Note: Point A is at the left of point B.
