A ladder of 6m long rests along a smooth wall at 25" from the wall. The floor on which the ladder rests is rough. Standing half way up the ladder is a woman of mass 75kg. Assuming the ladder does not slip. Determine by graphical solution a. The reaction between the ladder and the wall. b. The reaction of the floor and the ladder. |

mgacosα + F2asinα = R2acosα F is friction R is the normal reaction against the ground |

peepee i dont quite get it, but as i read it, the ladder doesnt slip so there is no reaction, just a 75kg woman standing half way up a ladder, is she putting up a bird box? |

Ahh fond memories of doing this crap from school.... Off the top of my head, you probably want to check this....... You use Newton's laws to work out forces (F=ma) Moman is m=75kg, a=g=9.8 (acceleration of gravity, g) Force down is 735N. Now work out the horizontal and vertical components on the ladder: Need to do polar <-> cartesian conversion, i.e. x = F cos @, y = F sin @ where @ is theta (use your imagination) In your case, @ = 25 degrees X is force acting horizontally, Y is force acting vertically. x= 666N y = 310N use pythagoras to check: z = sqrt (x^2 + y^2) = 735. OK That should get you going.... Solve graphically means you have to draw all the forces on a diagram to show you understand what's going on. Hope that helps. |
