Homework Statement A 5.00-m long uniform ladder leans against a smooth wall and its base rests on a rough floor. The ladder has a mass of 18.0 kg and its base is a distance of 2.30 m from the wall. A person of mass 70.0 kg climbs 2.50 m up the ladder. If the ladder is to remain in place, what...

Yeah M=Fd right? Yes, sum F. I did think about dividing up by 4 initially but they are definitely uneven.

I'm kinda lost as to how to incorporate the coordinates with the equation and such

So would it be F - (mt+mb)g = 0 ?

Yeah, static equilibrium sounds about right but I'm not sure how I should go about it.

A ball of mass 15.47kg rests on a table of height 0.73m. The tabletop is rectangular with a mass of 12.11kg, supported by 4 thin legs. The width of it is 134.0cm and length of 63.7cm. If the ball touches the tabletop at point (67.0cm, 16.4cm) relative to corner 1, what is the force the tabletop...

I see, that make sense. Acceleration is constant so that isn't needed.

Speed then right?

Distance? Or would it be time?

Also, from what I gathered is my initial starting point -.0720 since it's below its equilibrium, d = (0-.0720) ?

Ah I see. So I'm left with the two distances and gravity. Forgive my ignorance, but what is a SUVAT problem?

How do I go about solving this without the k constant? for displacement would it be (.034 - .0720) ? if W = Fd how would I go about finding the work without the force and merely the displacement? should I first find the constant acceleration and re-equate it: W = (ma) * d ?

Yeah, i apologize. i was trying to say /\x meaning delta x or displacement rather. .034 - .0720 is what I assumed to be the displacement. I am lost as how to go about to solve this honestly.

Homework Statement When an 98.0-g piece of toast is inserted into a toaster, the toaster's ejection spring is compressed 7.20 cm. When the toaster ejects the toasted slice, the slice reaches a height of 3.4 cm above it's starting position. What is the average force that the ejection spring...

Thanks again for all your help as well as everyone else! I finally got it!
