The uniform 10 kg ladder rests against the smooth wall at B and the end A rests on the rough horizontal plane for which the coefficient of static friction is µs = 0.3. Determine the angle of inclination θ of the ladder and the normal reaction at B if the ladder is on the verge of slipping.

Angle of inclination = 16.7°; normal reaction = 93.96N

Step-by-step explanation:

Frictional force is known as force of opposition that tends to oppose the motion of a body (moving force Fm) placed on a rough surface. Frictional force Ff is expressed as;

Ff = nR where;

n is the coefficient of static friction

R is the normal reaction

From the formula;

n = Ff/R

Where Ff = Fm = Weight of the object × sinθ i.e Wsinθ

and R = Wcosθ

n = wsinθ/wcosθ

n = sinθ/cosθ

n = tanθ

Given µs = 0.3

0.3 = tanθ

θ = arctan0.3

θ = 16.7°

Angle of inclination is 16.7°

The normal reaction at B if the ladder is on the verge of slipping can be gotten using the expression;

R = wcosθ

R = mgcosθ where

m is the mass of the ladder = 10kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s

R = 10×9.81×cos16.7°

R = 93.96N

i believe the correct answer is option 4.principalities were small territories that were run by russian rulers.

which statement correctly defines principalities in northern asia in the 1200s? principalities were small territories that were run by russian rulers.

hope i could ! : )

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.
