A75kgwindow cleaner uses a10kgladder that is5.0mlong. He places one end on the ground2.5mfrom a wall, rests the upper end against a cracked window, and climbs the ladder. He is3.0mup along the ladder when the window breaks. Neglect friction between the ladder and window and assume that the base of the ladder does not slip. When the window is on the verge of breaking, what are (a) the magnitude of the force on the window from the ladder, (b) the magnitude of the force on the ladder from the ground, and (c) the angle (relative to the horizontal) of that force on the ladder?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a)Themagnitude of the force on the window from the ladderis.2.8102N

b)The magnitude of the force on the ladder from the groundis.8.8102N

c)The angle (relative to the horizontal) of that force on the ladderis71

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

Mass of thewindow cleanerM=75kg

Mass of the ladderm=10.0kg

Length of the ladderL=5.0m

Distance from the foot of the ladder to theposition of the window cleaner=3.0m

Distance from the wall to the foot of the ladderd=2.5m

02

Understanding the concept of ladder theory

The forces on the ladder are shown in the diagramF1is the force of the window, horizontal because the window is frictionless.F2andF3are the components of the force of the ground on the ladder. MIs the mass of the window cleaner andis the mass of the ladder.

03

Step 3:Explanation

The man is affected by gravity at a point 3.0mup the ladderand the centre of the ladder experiences the effects of gravity.Let be the angle between the ladder and the ground.

\begingatheredcos=dL=cos-12.55=600

04

Calculation of themagnitude of the force on the window from the ladder

(a)

Since the ladder is in equilibrium the sum of the torques about its foot or any other point vanishes.

Let be thedistance from the foot of the ladder to the position of the window cleaner.

Mgcos+mgL2cos-F1Lsin=0F1=(M+mL2)gcosLsin=(75kg)(3.0m)+(10kg)(2.5m)(9.8m/s2)cos60(5.0m)sin60=2.8102N

The magnitude of the force on the window from the ladderis.2.8102N

05

Calculation of the magnitude of the force on the ladder from the ground

(b)

The sum of the horizontal forces and the sum of the vertical forces also vanish.

F1-F3=0F2-Mg-mg=0F1=F3=2.8102NF2=(M+m)g=(75kg+10kg)(9.8m/s2)=8.3102N

The magnitude of the force of the ground on the ladder is given by the square root of the sum of the squares of its components

F=F22+F32=(2.8102N)2+(8.3102N)2=8.8102N

The magnitude of the force on the ladder from the ground is8.8102N

06

 Calculation of theangle (relative to the horizontal) of that force on the ladder

(c)

The angle between the force and the horizontal is given by

tan=F3F2=(830N)(280N)=2.94=71

The angle (relative to the horizontal) of that force on the ladder is71

In Fig. 12-45, a thin horizontal bar ABof negligible weight and length Lis hinged to a vertical wall at Aand supported at B by a thin wire BCthat makes an angle with the horizontal. A block of weight Wcan be moved anywhere along the bar; its position is defined by the distance xfrom the wall to its center of mass. As a function of x, find(a) the tension in the wire, and the (b) horizontal and (c) vertical components of the force on the bar from the hinge at A.

In Fig. 12-51, a uniform plank, with a lengthLof 6.10m and a weight of445N , rests on the ground and against a frictionless roller at the top of a wall of height h=3.05m. The plank remains in equilibrium for any value of 70 but slips if <70. Find the coefficient of static friction between the plank and the ground.
