  • Physics Ninja looks at the leaning ladder problem. Newton's laws are used to find the minimum angle where the ladder remain in equilibrium. The forces and torques are calculated and angle is evaluated.

    Could I just say that your videos are wonderful. Every time I want an explanation for something I learned, physics ninja is around. Thank you :)

    what would you do if the full ladder length was given? I've got the same problem except I have to solve for the coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground.

  • @jeremiechopty890

    Okay, but i dont understand why the perpendicular force of the friction is sin and not cos. The force of friction is on the end of the ladder, which does not make sense to why you drew it just above. It seems you could draw all the forces on the ladder with sin being the perpendicular. (it seems your just shifting the components around)

    You are a genius sir. Your video is so much cool than any other video I watched before. Make many video with problem.

    my question is which force is responsible for slipping off the rod as there is no force acting left side of the bottom of the rod also there is no component of gravitational force acting. So, which force moves the bottom-most point towards the left for slipping.

    Hi! Why does the painter not have a reaction force perpendicular to the ladder?

    • @PhysicsNinja
      @PhysicsNinja  Před 4 lety +2

      There is a force on the painter but I’m not interested in the painter. I’m looking at all the forces on the ladder. There are only 2 forces on the painter, the weight of the painter and the normal force from the step on the painter. Both forces are in the y-direction. The force from the ladder is not perpendicular to the ladder. If this was the cases the painter would not be in equilibrium.

    Plz make a video on this following problem. A cannon of mass M rests on a horizontal plane having coefficient of friction k. It fires a projectile of mass m with muzzle velocity v in a direction making angle "a" with the horizontal. Determine how far back the cannon will move due to the recoil. Thanks,

      nice problem! I"ll try to put something together soon. I'll add it to my queue.

    • @imranradzmi9944
      @imranradzmi9944 Před 2 lety

      You could use conservation of momentum to find the backward horizontal momentum the cannon gets upon firing (using trigonometry). Then, as kinetic energy = P^2/2m, equate this kinetic energy with frictional energy loss to find distance travelled since you know the reaction force that the ground exerts on the cannon.

  • @harinachiappansubramanian9206

    why is the normal force not pointing normal to the edge that is at the floor? i thought that in that case, it should be pointing normal to the ladder, instead of the floor

    • @PhysicsNinja
      @PhysicsNinja  Před 2 lety

      The normal force is produced by the floor and acting on the ladder. The normal force is always perpendicular to the surface that is producing the force.

    Thank you for the video ! I don't understand why the painter wouldn't have a normal force tho, can someone explain?

    • @PhysicsNinja
      @PhysicsNinja  Před rokem

      There is definitely a force on the painter, but in this problem we are looking at the forces on the ladder, not the painter.

    You have really screwed up my mind with your assignment of the direction of torques as it is counter intuitive

      Lol, pretty straightforward. CCW positive, CW negative.
