Since the floor is rough, it exerts both a normal force
N1
and a frictional force
f1
on the ladder. However, since the wall is frictionless, it exerts only a normal force
N2
on the ladder. The ladder has a length of
L =4.7 m,
a weight of
WL =62.0 N,
and rests against the wall a distance
d =3.75 m
above the floor. If a person with a mass of
m =90 kg
is standing on the ladder, determine the following.
(a) the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is halfway up the ladder (Enter the magnitude only.)
N1= NN2= Nf1= N
(b) the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is three-fourths of the way up the ladder (Enter the magnitude only.)
N1= NN2= Nf1= N
