1. Wall-a-stick 
One end of a 2.00 [m] long uniform stick is placed against a vertical wall. The other end is held by a  lightweight cord that makes an angle ? with the stick. The coefficient of static friction between the end of the  stick and the wall is ?s = 0.530.

 

A. What is the maximum value the ? can have if the stick is to remain  in equilibrium?

 

B. A block of the same weight as the stick is suspended on it at a 
distance ? from the wall as shown. Assume that ? = 16.5° in this  problem. What is the minimum value of ? for which the stick will remain  in equilibrium?

 

C. When ? = 16.5°, how large must the coefficient of static friction be so that the block can be  attached 0.800 [m] from the left end of the stick without causing it to slip?
