Question

One uniform ladder of mass 30 kg and 10 m long rests against a frictionless vertical wall and makes an angle of 60o with the floor. A man weighing 700 N could climb up to 7.0 m before slipping. What is the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the ladder

    Answer:

       μ = 0.37

    Explanation:

    For this exercise we must use the translational and rotational equilibrium equations.

    We set our reference system at the highest point of the ladder where it touches the vertical wall. We assume that counterclockwise rotation is positive

    let’s write the rotational equilibrium

               W₁  x/2 + W₂ x₂ – fr y = 0

    where W₁ is the weight of the mass ladder m₁ = 30kg, W₂ is the weight of the man 700 N, let’s use trigonometry to find the distances

                 cos 60 = x / L

    where L is the length of the ladder

                  x = L cos 60

                sin 60 = y / L

               y = L sin60

    the horizontal distance of man is

                cos 60 = x2 / 7.0

                x2 = 7 cos 60

    we substitute

             m₁ g L cos 60/2 + W₂ 7 cos 60 – fr L sin60 = 0

             fr = (m1 g L cos 60/2 + W2 7 cos 60) / L sin 60

    let’s calculate

             fr = (30 9.8 10 cos 60 2 + 700 7 cos 60) / (10 sin 60)

             fr = (735 + 2450) / 8.66

             fr = 367.78 N

    the friction force has the expression

             fr = μ N

    write the translational equilibrium equation

             N – W₁ -W₂ = 0

             N = m₁ g + W₂

             N = 30 9.8 + 700

             N = 994 N

    we clear the friction force from the eucacion

            μ = fr / N

            μ = 367.78 / 994

            μ = 0.37
