A thin rigid cylindrical rod is leaned against a wall as in Figure 9.30, with its other end resting on the floor. The rod slides (without friction) under the force of gravity. Find the equations of motion for the angle θ that the rod makes with the wall.

A stick which is 1.14 meters long is leaned against a wall at an angle. If the coefficient of static friction between the stick and the wall and floor is 0.767, determine the furthest distance from the wall that the bottom of the stick may be placed without slipping.

A stick which is 1.86 meters long is leaned against a wall at an angle. If the coefficient of static friction between the stick and the wall and floor is 0.815, determine the furthest distance from the wall that the bottom of the stick may be placed without slipping.
A nonuniform ladder is leaned against a frictionless wall. The ladder has a mass of 30 kg, a length of 10.0 m, and makes a 60° angle with the ground. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is 0.42. Assume g = 10.0 m/s^2 a. If a 75 kg firefighter is able to climb 90% of the way up the ladder before it begins to slip, where is the center of mass of the ladder located...
A person is pushing against a wall while their body is slanted.
The wall is made of smooth ice, therefore it has zero friction. The
floor, however, is made of rough sandstone and as a result, has
coefficients of friction
and
, both of which are non-zero.
Model the person as a uniform one-dimensional
rod of mass m and length L. Their body
makes an angle
relative to the ground as shown.

The left-hand end of a slender uniform rod of mass m is placed against a vertical wall. The rod is held in a horizontal position by friction at the wall and by a light wire that runs from the right-hand end of the rod to a point on the wall above the rod. The wire makes an angle θ with the rod. a)What must the magnitude of the friction force be in order for the rod to remain at rest?...
One end of a uniform 3.80-m-long rod of weight Fg is supported by a cable at an angle of θ=37° with the rod. The other end rests against the wall, where it is held by friction as shown in the figure below. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is μs=0.580. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional object, also with the same weight Fg' can be hung without causing the...
A slender, uniform metal rod of mass and length is pivoted without friction about an axisthrough its midpoint and perpendicularto the rod. A horizontalspring, assumed massless and with force constant , is attached to the lower end of the rod, withthe other end of the spring attached to a rigid support.(a) We start by analyzing the torques acting on the rod when it isdeflected by a small angle from the vertical. Considerfirst the torque due to gravity. Which of the...
one end of a uniform L = 4.80-m-long rod of weight w is supported by a cable at an angle of θ = 370 with the rod. The other end rests against a wall, where it is held by friction (see figure).
