An 20 kg plank leans on a rough floor, against a frictionless wall, making an angle of 40 degrees with the horizontal. An 7 kg mass hangs down at a distance of 7 meters from the top end of the plank. Determine all the forces (direction and magnitude) acting on the plank, assuming the plank is in both rotational and also translational (linear) equilibrium, then determine the implied value of the coefficient of static friction of the floor against the plank. Remember to check your numbers by cross-checking 'linear' equilibrium (sum of forces in x-direction or y-direction = 0) against rotational equilibrium (sum of torques=0).

A ladder leans against a wall at an angle of 80° with respect to the ground. If the floor is slippery but the wall not (i.e., μfloor = 0, μwall ≠ 0) could the ladder be in static equilibrium? What if both the wall and the floor are slippery (i.e., μfloor = μwall = 0), could the ladder be in static equilibrium? Finally, can ladder be in static equilibrium if the floor was not slippery, but the wall was (i.e.,...
