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.

Question

Definition Definition Force that opposes motion when the surface of one item rubs against the surface of another. The unit of force of friction is same as the unit of force.

To get up on the roof, a person with a mass m = 71 kg leans an aluminum ladder (mass 10.5 kg and length 6.0 m) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder just overhangs a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to be frictionless, so the force from the gutter on the ladder acts perpendicularly to the ladder. As a result, the top of the ladder experiences a normal force at an angle, while the bottom of the ladder experiences both a vertical normal force and a horizontal friction force. The center of mass of the ladder is 2 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3 m from the bottom. a.) What is the magnitude of the net force on the ladder at the top? Give your answer in newtons b.) What is the magnitude of the net force on the ladder at the bottom? Give your answer in newtons
