| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Sum of Forces in the Horizontal Direction (x-axis) | \[ \sum F_x = 0 \implies N_1 – f = 0 \implies N_1 = f \] | Horizontal forces balance; friction equals wall’s normal force. |
| 2. Sum of Forces in the Vertical Direction (y-axis) | \[ \sum F_y = 0 \implies N_2 – m_1 g – m_2 g = 0 \implies N_2 = (m_1 + m_2) g \] | Vertical forces balance; ground’s normal force equals total weight. |
| 3. Sum of Torques About the Bottom of the Ladder | \[ N_1 L \sin \theta – m_1 g d \cos \theta – m_2 g \left( \dfrac{L}{2} \cos \theta \right) = 0 \] \[ N_1 = \dfrac{m_1 g d + \dfrac{1}{2} m_2 g L}{L \tan \theta} \] | Set net torque to zero; solve for \( N_1 \). |
| 4. Frictional Force at the Point of Slipping | \[ f_{\text{max}} = \mu_{\text{min}} N_2 = \mu_{\text{min}} (m_1 + m_2) g \] \[ N_1 = f = \mu_{\text{min}} (m_1 + m_2) g \] | Relate friction to normal force and coefficient of friction. |
| 5. Solving for \( \mu_{\text{min}} \) | \[ \mu_{\text{min}} (m_1 + m_2) g = \dfrac{m_1 g d + \dfrac{1}{2} m_2 g L}{L \tan \theta} \] \[ \mu_{\text{min}} = \dfrac{m_1 d + \dfrac{1}{2} m_2 L}{(m_1 + m_2) L \tan \theta} \] | Equate expressions for \( N_1 \) and solve for \( \mu_{\text{min}} \). |
| 6. Answer to First Part | \[ \mu_{\text{min}} = \dfrac{m_1 d + \dfrac{1}{2} m_2 L}{(m_1 + m_2) L \tan \theta} \] | Minimum coefficient of static friction required. |
| 7. Given \( \mu_s = \dfrac{3}{2} \mu_{\text{min}} \) | \[ \mu_s = \dfrac{3}{2} \mu_{\text{min}} \] | Actual coefficient of friction is 1.5 times \( \mu_{\text{min}} \). |
| 8. Calculating Frictional Force \( f \) | \[ f = N_1 = \mu_{\text{min}} (m_1 + m_2) g \] | Frictional force required for equilibrium. |
| 9. Answer to Second Part | \[ f = \mu_{\text{min}} (m_1 + m_2) g \] | Magnitude of frictional force with increased \( \mu_s \). |

How long does it take for a rotating object to speed up from 15.0 rad/s to 33.3 rad/s if it has a uniform angular acceleration of 3.45 rad/s2?
A uniform solid cylinder of mass [katex] M [/katex] and radius [katex] R [/katex] is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. A massless string is attached to the cylinder and is wrapped around it. The string is then pulled with a constant force [katex] F [/katex] , causing the cylinder to rotate about its center of mass. After the cylinder has rotated through an angle [katex] \theta [/katex], what is the kinetic energy of the cylinder in terms of [katex] F [/katex] and [katex] \theta [/katex]?

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
