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!

PROBLEM: To prevent a box from sliding down an inclined plane, student A pushes on the box in the direction parallel to the incline, just hard enough to hold the box stationary.

If the weight of the box w= 20.0 N, the angle made by the incline with the horizontal θ=25o, and the coefficient of static friction µs=0.16, who has the easier job?
