A 200-kg log is pulled up a ramp by means of a rope that is parallel to the surface of the ramp. The ramp is inclined at 34.5° with respect to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the log and the ramp is 0.870, and the log has an acceleration of 0.750 m/s2. Find the tension in the rope.

In order to burgle a local McDonald's, the Hamburglar must climb onto the roof. To do this, a ladder of length 3.31 m and mass 21.2 kg is placed leaning against a vertical wall, as shown in the image below. There is negligible friction between the ladder and the wall, but the same is not true for the ladder and the ground: us ≠ 0 between those two surfaces. Even with that friction, the ladder will start slipping if the angle ø ladder makes relative to the ground is less than 71.0°. Assuming the ladder is uniform (so that its center of gravity is located at its geometric center), what must be the maximum static frictional force (in N) that exists between the bottom of the ladder and the ground? Explain how you solved the problem involving a ladder leaning against a wall. Be sure to state what your known and unknown quantities are, what concepts were applied, and what equations were used!
