A heavy cask (full of wine!) sits on an inclined plane. It is held in place by a rope that is attached to the cask and to a hook further up the inclined plane (at A). The rope comes off of the cask tangent to the cask. The mass of the cask is 40 kg, and the coefficient of static friction between the inclined plane and the cask is 0.25. What is the maximum value of θ just before the cask begins to slip? Also, what is the tension in the rope when slipping is impending?

A ladder of length 5 m is resting against a smooth wall, its point of contact being just below a first floor window. The bottom of the ladder rests on the ground and the coefficient of friction between the ladder and the ground is 0.3. A person of mass 75 kg climbs the ladder, which has a mass of 4 kg. The bottom of the ladder is at the point of slipping, outward from the wall, just as the person reaches the mid-point of the ladder’s length.

In addition, determine the angle of inclination (θ) of the ladder, when the person is at the mid-point and the ladder is on the verge of slipping.
