Question: Problems 1 - 5 Information: A man stands on a ladder of length L = 4 m leaning against a wall. His little brother begins
Problems Information:
A man stands on a ladder of length L m leaning against a wall. His little brother begins pulling the base of the ladder at a constant velocity of vA ms away from the wall. At the instant shown, the man is a distance d m up the ladder, and the ladder is at angle deg relative to the floor.
What type of motion do the man and ladder experience? Express your answer as manladder Use abbreviations T pure translation, R fixedaxis rotation, G general planar motion.
