A14.0 m uniform ladder weighing 490 n rests against a frictionless wall. the ladder makes a 63.0°-angle with the horizontal.
(a) find the horizontal and vertical forces (in n) the ground exerts on the base of the ladder when an 820-n firefighter has climbed 3.80 m along the ladder from the bottom. (horizontal force, vertical force)
(b) if the ladder is just on the verge of slipping when the firefighter is 9.10 m from the bottom, what is the coefficient of static friction between ladder and ground?
(c) what if? if oil is spilled on the ground, causing the coefficient of static friction to drop to half the value found in part (b), what is the maximum distance (in m) the firefighter can climb along the ladder from the bottom before the ladder slips?
Answers: 2
= 14 m
= 490 N
= 3.8 m
= 820 N
, force of friction on base of ladder be 
and normal force on base of ladder be N.

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
