a ladder at rest is leaning against a wall at an angle. which of the following forces must have the same magnitude as the frictional force exerted on the ladder by the floor? justify your answer. (a) the force of gravity on the ladder (b) the normal force exerted on the ladder by the floor (c) the frictional force exerted on the ladder by the wall d) the normal force exerted on the ladder by the wall

answer is c

explanation:

find the surface area of the sphere to the nearest square unit. use a calculator.

a. 254 in.2

b. 64 in.2

c. 127 in.2

d. 1,018 in.2

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
