1.
A stepladder consisting of two legs pinned together at C is resting on
a rough floor. Will a 800N worker be able to change the light bulb if
he is required to climb to a height of 1.3 m? The uniform legs AC and
BC weigh 110 N and 70 N, respectively. The coefficient of static
friction atA andB is 0.48.
2.
The man is trying to push the homogeneous 20-kg ladderAB up a wall
by applying the horizontal forceP. Determine the smallest value ofP
that would move the ladder. The coefficient of static friction between
the ladder and both contact surfaces is 0.3.
3. Determine the forces in the members BD and CD of the
truss in the figure. All triangles are equilateral.
4.
Determine the forces in members AE and DC. State if the
members are in tension or compression.

Determine the smallest force P required to pull out
wedge A. the crate has a weight of 300lb and the
coefficient of static friction at all contacting surfaces is
0.3. Neglect the weight of the wedge.
