The ground is somewhat icy, where the coefficient of static friction between the ground and the ladder’s feet is µ = 0.55; while the wall of her house can be considered frictionless. If Sally has a mass of 60kg and the ladder has a mass of 80kg, what is the max distance that she can climb up the length of the ladder without it slipping? You may assume the ground is perfectly flat, and the wall is perpendicular to the ground.arrow_forward
- a 55 kg rock climber is in a lie-back climb along a fissure, with hands pulling on one side of the fissure and feet pressed against the opposite side. The fissure has width w = 0.20 m, and the center of mass of the climber is a horizontal distance d = 0.40 m from the fissure. The coefficient of static friction between hands and rock is m1 = 0.40, and between boots and rock it is m2 = 1.2. (a) What is the least horizontal pull by the hands and push by the feet that will keep the climber stable? (b) For the horizontal pull of (a), what must be the vertical distance h between hands and feet?

- A 595 g squirrel with a surface area of 925 cm2 falls from a 5.6-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver. Assume that the squirrel can be approximated as a rectanglar prism with cross-sectional area of width 11.5 cm and length 23 cm. Note, the squirrel may not reach terminal velocity by the time it hits the ground. Give the squirrel's terminal velocity, not it's velocity as it hits the ground.) What will be the velocity of a 59.5 kg person hitting the ground, assuming no drag contribution in such a short distance?arrow_forwardIn the figure a 51 kg rock climber is in a lie-back climb along a fissure, with hands pulling on one side of the fissure and feet pressed against the opposite side. The fissure has width w = 0.30 m, and the center of mass of the climber is a horizontal distance d = 0.30 m from the fissure. The coefficient of static friction between hands and rock is µ₁ = 0.40, and between boots and rock it is µ2 = 1.10.

There is some friction present; the kinetic coefficient of friction is 6.00×10-2. Since you can't walk up the incline, you give the box a push that gives it an initial velocity; then the box slides up the incline, slowing down under the forces of friction and gravity. Take acceleration due to gravity to be 9.81 m/s². Part A Use the work-energy theorem to calculate the minimum speed that you must give the box at the bottom of the incline so that it will reach the Express your answer numerically, in meters per second. ► View Available Hint(s) V= ΕΠΙΑΣΦΑ A20 ^ ? m/sarrow_forward
