PROBLEM 3: The tank shown in the figure weighs 3.8 kN. In this problem, D = 1.5 m, H = 3.4 m and e55°. (a) If the tank is filled with water, determine the smallest force P to tip the tank, in kN. (b)Determine the smallest coefficient of static friction that would allow tipping to take place. (c) If a forceP = 12.5 kN can initiate tipping, what must be the depth of water in the tank, in meters?HINT: Weight = Unit weight of water x Volume, Unit weight of water = 9.81 kN/m³.D

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!
