1) FIGURE 1 shows a uniform ladder PQ of weight 240 N leans on a smooth wall and 

resting on a rough floor with a minimum inclination angle θmin. The coefficient of 

friction between the ladder and floor is 0.25. 

(i)

With the aid of a force diagram, calculate the forces acting on the ladder at 

point P and point Q.

(ii)

Determine the value of θmin. 


During a total eclipse, the Sun and the Moon appear to the observer to be almost exactly the same size. The radii of the Sun and Moon are r sun = 6.96 · 10^8m and r moon= 1.74 ·10^6m , respectively. The distance between the Earth and the Moon is dEM = 3.84 · 10^8m a) Determine the distance from the Earth to the Sun at the moment of the eclipse. b) In part (a), the implicit assumption is that the distance from the observer to the Moon⠀ ™s center is equal to the distance between the centers of the Earth and the Moon. By how much is this assumption incorrect, if the observer of the eclipse is on the Equator at noon? [Hint: Express this quantitatively, by calculating the relative error as a ratio: (assumed observer-to-Moon distance ⠀ “ actual observer-to-Moon distance)/(actual observer-to-Moon distance).] c) Use the corrected observer-to-Moon distance to determine a corrected distance from Earth to the Sun.

A 200 N wagon is to be pulled up a 30 degrees incline at a constant speed. How large a force in kN parallel to the incline is needed if friction effects are negligible?


An 30 kg object from rest was pulled horizontally by a pulling force 100 N applied along the direction of displacement line. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the surface and the object is 0.20 and the object was displaced at a distance of 40 meters. What is the final velocity of the object?

Spring is compressed to a length of 20 cm by a 20 kg object on a 20 degrees inclined surface with coefficient of kinetic friction 0.30. What is the initial velocity of the object moving up the plane? The spring constant is 980 N/m


An 30 kg object from rest was pulled horizontally by a pulling force of 100N applied along the direction of displacement line. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the surface and the object is 0.20 and the object was displaced at a distance of 40 meters. How work is done on friction?

Two beakers of water, A and B, initially are at the same temperature. The 

temperature of the water in beaker A is increased 10 F°, and the temperature 

of the water in beaker B is increased 10 K. After these temperature changes, 

which beaker of water has the higher temperature? Explain.
