Blocks mj and m2 are connected by a rope as shown in the figure. There is friction between mi and the wall, where the coefficient of static friction is s. There is no friction between m2 and the ramp. An unknown force P is applied to mi so that m¡ is about to slip down the wall and m2 is about to move down the ramp. If the magnitude of the normal force on m2 is n2, find m2, the magnitude of P, the magnitude of the friction force on mị, and the magnitude of the tension force in the rope. The knowns are Hs, n2, m1, g, and 0.

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!
