A uniform ladder whose length is 5.0 m and whose weight is 330 N leans against a frictionless vertical wall. The coefficient of static friction between the level ground and the foot of the ladder is 0.52. What is the greatest distance the foot of the ladder can be placed from the base of the wall without the ladder immediately slipping?

x = 3.6 [m]

Explanation:

This problem can be easily solved using a static analysis of forces acting on the ladder, taking into account the respective distances. For easy understanding, a free body diagram should be made.

We perform a sum of force on the X-axis equal to zero, to find that the force exerted by the wall is equal to the friction force on the floor.

Then we perform a summation of forces on the Y axis, to determine that the normal force exerted by the floor is equal to the weight of the ladder.

We know that the friction force is equal to the product of normal force by the coefficient of friction.

In this way, by relating the friction force to the equations deduced above we can find the force exerted by the wall.

Then we make a summation of moments around the base point of the ladder, the equation realized can be seen in the attached image.

In the last analysis we can find the relationship between the horizontal and vertical distance of the ladder, with respect to the wall and the floor.

Then with the complementary analysis of the Pythagorean theorem we can find another additional equation.

The result of the greater distance is 3.6 [m]

with 5 seconds, no, but over time if the police car stays at 65m/s ad the speeding car stays at 60, then obviously yes, but the answer to your question would be, no.

hope this : )
