A man of weight W is on the top of a symmetric two-legged ladder, which is standing on a horizontal surface, as it is shown in the figure. The length of the ladder is L. There is a chain of length a, attached between the bottom third points of the legs, which prevents the collapse of the ladder. (a) Determine the tension T in the chain assuming that the floor is very slippery. (b) Determine the minimal static friction coefficient forwhich the ladder does not collapse even without thechain. In both cases calculate with symbols, and give the numerical result for L = 5 m, W = 800 N, a = 1.5 m.

An airplane has wings, each with area 3.85 m2, designed so that air flows over the top of the wing at 248 m/s and underneath the wing at 226 m/s. Approximately what size wings would an aircraft need on Mars if its engine generates the same differences in speed as in the "Practice It" and the total mass of the craft is 300 kg? The density of air on the surface of Mars is approximately one percent Earth's density at sea level, and the acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mars is about 3.8 m/s2. ______________m2
