This problem has been solved! See the answer A 21.5 kg person climbs up a uniform 85 N ladder. The upper end of the ladder rests on a frictionless wall. The bottom of the ladder rests on a floor with a rough surface. The angle between the horizontal and the ladder is 59 ◦. The person can climb 78 % up the ladder before the base of the ladder slips on the floor. What is the coefficient of static friction µs between the base of the ladder and the floor? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s 2 .

 μ = 0.179

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the rotational equilibrium condition, where we set a reference system at the top of the ladder where it is in contact with the parent, we will assume the counterclockwise rotations as positive

         ∑ τ = 0

         W_stairs x/2 + W_man x’+ fr y - N x = 0

          fr y = -W_stairs x/2 - W_man x’ + N x

let's use trigonometry for distances

* the man up the ladder 78%

            l ’= 0.78 L

            cos 59 = x ’/ l’

            x’= 0.78 L cos 59

* the horizontal distance

           cos 59 = x / L

            x = L cos 59

* vertical distance

            sin 59 = Y / L

            y = L sin 59

we substitute

           fr L sin 59 = -W_stairs Lcos59 / 2 - W_man 0.78 L cos59 + N L cos59

           fr sin 59 = - ½ W_stairs cos 59 - 0.78 W_man cos 59 + N cos 59

           fr = ctan 59  (N - ½ W_stairs - 0.78 W_man)     (1)

Let's write the translational equilibrium equations

Y axis  

           N -W_stairs - W_man = 0

           N = W_stairs + W_man

           N = 85 + 21.5 9.8

           N = 295.7 N

we substitute in 1

           fr = ctg 59 (295.7 - ½ 85 - 0.78 21.5 9.8)

           fr = 0.6 (295.7 - 42.5 - 164.346)

           fr = 52.89 N

the expression for the friction force is

            fr = μ N

            μ = fr / N

             μ = 52.89 / 295.7  

             μ = 0.179

explanation:

v=uf/(u-f)

= 5.-10/(5+10) convex lens has negative focal length

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
