Nina wants to lean a ladder of mass 15 kg and length 8.0 m against a wall.
Question:
Nina wants to lean a ladder of mass 15 kg and length 8.0 m against a wall. She lifts one end over her head. Then she “walks” her hands from rung to rung toward the other end, which rests on the ground.
(a) When she is holding the ladder 2.0 m from the end where she started, what vertical force does she exert on the ladder?
(b) To “walk” more than 4.0 m along the ladder, she will need a helper. Explain why. What should the helper do?
Step by Step Answer:
When she is holding the ladder 20 m from the end where she st...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
