1. A 15.0-m uniform ladder weighing 500 N rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes a 60.0° angle with the horizontal.
(a) Find the horizontal and vertical forces the ground exerts on the base of the ladder when an 800-N firefighter is 4.00 m from the bottom.
(b) If the ladder is just on the verge of slipping when the firefighter is 9.00 m up, what is the coefficient of static friction between ladder and ground?
2. A hungry bear weighing 700 N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of food hanging at the end of the beam (Fig. P12.43). The beam is uniform, weighs 200 N, and is 6.00 m long; the basket weighs 80.0 N.
(a) Draw a free-body diagram for the beam.
(b) When the bear is at x = 1.00 m, find the tension in the wire and the components of the force exerted by the wall on the left end of the beam.
(c) What If? If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 900 N, what is the maximum distance the bear can walk before the wire breaks?
3. One end of a uniform 4.00-m-long rod of weight Fg is supported by a cable. The other end rests against the wall, where it is held by friction, as in Figure P12.23. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is μs = 0.500. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional weight Fg (the same as the weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.
4. A vaulter holds a 29.4-N pole in equilibrium by exerting an upward force U with her leading hand and a downward force D with her trailing hand, as shown in Figure P12.25. Point C is the center of gravity of the pole. What are the magnitudes of U and D?
