A Ladder At Rest Is Leaning Against A Wall. Which of the following forces must have the same magnitude as the frictional force exerted on the ladder by the floor? Which of the following forces must have the same magnitude as the frictional force exerted on the ladder by the floor?
A ladder leans up against a wall.
The top of the ladder touches the wall at a point 8 feet above the ground. In such problems the reaction forces also depend on the elasticity of the system and the way in which the system was set up. A ladder 13 meters long rests on horizontal ground and leans against a vertical wall. In the rst problem a ladder is leaning against a wall and sliding under the inuence of gravity alone.
