Concept explainers

Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics

In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.

Equilibrium of Forces

The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.

The ladder has 7 rungs and the rungs are spaced 0.30 m apart, and the top and bottom rungs are 0.30 m from their respective ends of the ladder. Surfaces at A and B both have the same coefficient of friction. If a worker weighs 360 N and stands on the middle rung, determine the minimum value of the coefficient of friction so that the ladder does not slide. Neglect the weight of the ladder.
