A uniform stationary ladder of length L and mass M leans against a smooth vertical wall, while its bottom legs rest on a rough horizontal floor. The coefficient of static friction between floor and ladder is μ. The ladder makes an angle θ with respect to the floor. A painter of weight 1/2M stands on the ladder a distance d from its base. Find an expression for the magnitude of the normal force N exerted by the floor on the ladder. Find an expression for the magnitude of the normal force N_W exerted by the wall on the ladder.

Answer:

a)  N = 1396.5 N , b)  N_w = 740.1 N   c)  d = 1.74 m

Explanation

To solve this problem let's use the translational and rotational equilibrium equations

    Σ F = 0

    Σ τ = 0

We establish an xy reference system, at the highest point of the ladder, where the x-axis parallel to the ground and the y-axis is perpendicular and passes through the vertical wall

Let's write the transnational equilibrium equations

X axis

       fr - N_w = 0

Y Axis

      N - W - W / 2 = 0

      fr = N_w

a) N = 3/2 W

   N = 3/2 mg

   N = 3/2 95 9.8  

   N = 1396.5 N

b)   fr = N_w

The force of friction is

    fr = μ N

    fr = μ (3/2 W)

    N_w = 3/2 μ m g

    N_w = 3/2 0.53 95 9.8

    N_w = 740.1 N

c) we write the rotational balance, the anti-hourly rotation is positive

The distance they give to the painter is from the base of the stairs, to measure this distance from the wall is (x-d)

         W x / 2 + (W / 2) (x-d) + fr y - N x = 0

Let's use trigonometry to find the distances

         sin 47.5 = y / L

          y = L sin47.5

          cos 47.5 = x / L

          x = L cos 47.5

          y = 3.5 sin 47.5

          x = 3.5 cos 47.5

          y = 2.58 m

          x = 2.36 m

Let's simplify and calculate d

         W x / 2 + (W / 2) (x-d) + fr y - N x = 0

         W  x + fr y - N x = W / 2 d y -

         mg / 2 d = mg x + (μ 3/2 mg) y -3/2 mg x

         d = 2 (x + 3/2 μ y - 3/2 x)

         d = 2x + 3 (μ L sin 47.5 - L cos 47.5)

         d = 2L cos 47.5 + 3L (μ sin 47.5 - cos 47.5)

         d = L cos 47.5 (2 + 3 (miu tan 47.5 -1))

         d = 3.5 cos 47.5 (2 + 3 (0.53 tan47.5 -1))

         d = 2.3645 (2 - 1.2648)

         d = 1.74 m

Answer:

The expression for the magnitude of the normal force N exerted by the floor on the ladder is [tex]N= \dfrac{3}{2}W[/tex].

The expression for the magnitude of the normal force [tex](N_{w})[/tex] exerted by the wall on the ladder is, [tex]N_{w}=\dfrac{3}{2}W \mu[/tex].

The maximum distance to avoid slipping of ladder is 1.74 m.

Explanation:

Given data:

Weight of painter is, [tex]W=\dfrac{1}{2}M[/tex].

Length of ladder is, [tex]L = 3.5 \;\rm m[/tex].

Coefficient of friction is, [tex]\mu = 0.53[/tex].

Angle of inclination of ladder is, [tex]\theta = 47.5^{\circ}[/tex].

Mass of ladder is, [tex]M = 95 \;\rm kg[/tex].

(a)

The expression for the magnitude of the normal force N exerted by the floor on the ladder by translation equilibrium is,

[tex]N-W-\dfrac{W}{2} =0\\N=W+\dfrac{W}{2}\\N=\dfrac{3}{2}W[/tex]

Thus, the expression for the magnitude of the normal force N exerted by the floor on the ladder by translation equilibrium is [tex]N= \dfrac{3}{2}W[/tex]. And its value is,

[tex]N= \dfrac{3}{2} \times (\dfrac{M}{2}) \\N= \dfrac{3}{2} \times (\dfrac{95}{2}) \\N = 71.25 \;\rm N[/tex]

(b)

The expression for the magnitude of the normal force [tex](N_{w})[/tex] exerted by the wall on the ladder is,

Since, the normal force exerted by wall on ladder is opposed by the frictional force. Then,

Normal force by wall on ladder = Frictional force

[tex]N_{w}=f\\N_{w}=\mu \times N\\N_{w}=\mu \times (\dfrac{3}{2}W )\\N_{w}=\dfrac{3}{2}W \mu[/tex]

Thus, the expression for the magnitude of the normal force [tex](N_{w})[/tex] exerted by the wall on the ladder is, [tex]N_{w}=\dfrac{3}{2}W \mu[/tex]. And its value is,

[tex]N_{w}=\mu \times N\\N_{w}=0.53 \times 71.25\\N_{w}=37.76 \;\rm N[/tex]

(c)

Apply the condition of rotational balance as,

[tex]W \times \dfrac{x}{2} +\dfrac{W}{2}(x-d)+(f y)-Nx=0[/tex]

Here,

x is the horizontal distance from the stairs and base of wall.

y is the distance vertical from painter and base of wall.

d is the maximum distance to resist slipping of ladder.

And values are

[tex]y=Lsin \theta\\y=3.5 \times sin47.5 = 2.58 \;\rm m\\x=Lcos \theta\\y=3.5 \times cos47.5 = 2.36 \;\rm m[/tex]

Solving as,

[tex]W \times \dfrac{x}{2} +\dfrac{W}{2}(x-d)+(f y)-Nx=0\\\dfrac{M}{2} \times \dfrac{2.36}{2} +\dfrac{M}{4}(2.36-d)+(\mu \times N \times y)-Nx=0\\\dfrac{95}{2} \times \dfrac{2.36}{2} +\dfrac{95}{4}(2.36-d)+(0.53 \times 71.25 \times 2.58)-(71.25 \times 2.36)=0\\\dfrac{95}{4}(2.36-d)=14.67\\d = 1.74 \;\rm m[/tex]

Thus, the maximum distance to avoid slipping of ladder is 1.74 m.
