Q
Q: A ladder leans against a wall and is in equilibrium. What forces are acting on the ladder?
Solution:
The ladder experiences weight, a normal force from the ground, and friction at the base.
Steps: 4
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the ladder's weight. The ladder has weight due to gravity, which pulls it downwards.
Step 2: Recognize the normal force from the ground. The ground pushes up on the ladder, balancing its weight.
Step 3: Consider friction at the base. The base of the ladder has friction that prevents it from sliding away from the wall.
Step 4: Understand that the wall exerts a force on the ladder. The wall pushes horizontally against the ladder, preventing it from falling through.
