The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the maximum force of friction available at the point of contact between the ladder and the floor, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Data:** - Weight of the ladder (W) = 250 N - Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.3 2. **Understand the Forces Acting on the Ladder:** - The ladder is in equilibrium, meaning that the sum of the vertical forces and the sum of the horizontal forces must both be zero. - The weight of the ladder acts downward at its center of mass. - The normal force (N2) acts upward from the floor. - There is no friction from the wall since it is smooth. 3. **Balance the Vertical Forces:** - In the vertical direction, the normal force (N2) must balance the weight of the ladder: \[ N2 = W = 250 \, \text{N} \] 4. **Calculate the Maximum Force of Friction:** - The maximum force of friction (f_max) can be calculated using the formula: \[ f_{\text{max}} = \mu \cdot N2 \] - Substitute the values: \[ f_{\text{max}} = 0.3 \cdot 250 \, \text{N} = 75 \, \text{N} \] 5. **Conclusion:** - The maximum force of friction available at the point of contact between the ladder and the floor is: \[ \text{Maximum Force of Friction} = 75 \, \text{N} \] ### Final Answer: The maximum force of friction available at the point of contact between the ladder and the floor is **75 N**. ---
