A uniform ladder with mass m2 = 14kg and length L= 3.2m rests,against a smooth wall. A do-it-yourself enthusia of mass mi = 70kg stands on the ladder a distance d = 1.2m from the bottom (measured along the ladder.) There is no friction between the wall and the ladder, but there is a frictional force, with u, =0.25, between the floor and the ladder. Ni is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the wall on the ladder, and N2 is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the ground on the ladder. %3D

What are the necessary conditions for equilibrium of the object shown in Figure P12.1? Calculate torques about an axis through point O.
In analyzing the equilibrium of a flat, rigid object, you are about to choose an axis about which you will calculate torques. Which of the following describes the choice you should make? (a) The axis should pass through the objects center of mass. (b) The axis should pass through one end of the object. (c) The axis should be either the x axis or the y axis. (d) The axis should pass through any point within the object. (e) Any axis within or outside the object can be chosen.
Answer yes or no to the following questions. (a) Is it possible to calculate the torque acting on a rigid object without specifying an axis of rotation? (b) Is the torque independent of the location of the axis of rotation?

A stepladder of negligible weight is constructed as shown in Figure P10.73, with AC = BC = = 4.00 m. A painter of mass m = 70.0 kg stands on the ladder d = 3.00 m from the bottom. Assuming the floor is frictionless, find (a) the tension in the horizontal bar DE connecting the two halves of the ladder, (b) the normal forces at A and B, and (c) the components of the reaction force at the single hinge C that the left half of the ladder exerts on the right half. Suggestion: Treat the ladder as a single object, but also treat each half of the ladder separately.
