A ladder 7.50 m long is leaning against a smooth (frictionless) wall at a point 7.0 m above the ground. The ladder weighs 200 N and an 800-N painter stands two-thirds of the way up the ladder. What frictional force must act on the bottom of the ladder to prevent it from slipping for the painter to be safe?
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.
