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!
Q3/ A screw-jack is used to lft a load of 4 kN. The screw of the screw-jack is square threaded with two threads to 1 cm. If the co-efficient of friction between the nut and screw is 0,095 and outer diameter of screw s 6 cm, find the force required atthe end of the handle of length 50 cm to ift the load. (20 M)
The ladder in the figure rests on a horizontal surface (point A) and a vertical wall (point B). The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the horizontal surface is ??, while the friction of the ladder with the vertical wall is negligible. Assuming that the center of gravity of the ladder is at half its length, determine the minimum value of ??, to ensure that the ladder remains at rest.
A 6-m long ladder has a mass of 10 kg, and its center of gravity is 2.4 m from the bottom along the ladder. The ladder is resting on a 5° upward sloping floor at A and on a wall inclined to the right at 5° from the vertical at B, so that it makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal. How far up along the ladder can a 78-kg man climb before the ladder is on the verge of slipping? The angle of friction at all contact surfaces is 15°. Also determine the total reaction at A and B in Newton. Note: Point A is at the left of point B. SOLVE ASAP

A rigid gate of a flood control structure in a river is 6 m wide by 4 m high and weighs 10 kN. With its longer edge horizontal, it is moved up and down with its short edges sliding in vertical channel guides. Evaluate the force, in kN, needed to raise the gate when the surface of the water is 2 m. above its top edge. There is no water on thedownstream side of the gate. The coefficient of friction between the gate and the channel guides is 0.10. Neglect the buoyant effect of the water on the gate and the weight of the cables connected to the gate.a. 104 b. 94 c. 110 d. 92
