One end of a uniform meter stick is placed against a verticalwall . The other end is held by a lightweight cord that makesan angle \theta with the stick. The coefficient of static frictionbetween the end of the meter stick and the wall is 0.35.
Part A:
What is the maximum value the angle \theta can have if the stick is to remain inequilibrium?
Part B:
Let the angle between the cord and the stickis theta = 18^\circ. A block of the same weight as the meter stick issuspended from the stick, as shown, at a distance x from the wall. What is the minimum value ofxfor which the stick will remain in equilibrium?
Part C:
When theta = 18^\circ, how large must the coefficient of static frictionbe so that the block can be attached 11 {\rm cm} from the left end of the stick without causing itto slip?
