A 68 kg credenza is being pushed to move it. Due to use of sliders on the right side "feet," the coefficient of static friction at those feet, labeled B, is .2 while the coefficient of static friction at the feet labeled A is .4. Assuming impending motion, find the minimum force needed to move the credenza. Draw a clear and complete FBD before setting up your equations.

In order to burgle a local McDonald's, the Hamburglar must climb onto the roof. To do this, a ladder of length 3.31 m and mass 21.2 kg is placed leaning against a vertical wall, as shown in the image below. There is negligible friction between the ladder and the wall, but the same is not true for the ladder and the ground: us ≠ 0 between those two surfaces. Even with that friction, the ladder will start slipping if the angle ø ladder makes relative to the ground is less than 71.0°. Assuming the ladder is uniform (so that its center of gravity is located at its geometric center), what must be the maximum static frictional force (in N) that exists between the bottom of the ladder and the ground? Explain how you solved the problem involving a ladder leaning against a wall. Be sure to state what your known and unknown quantities are, what concepts were applied, and what equations were used!
