A uniform rectangular plate has side length l and 2l. The plate lies in x- y plane with its centre at origin and sides parallel to x- and y-axes. The moment of inertia of the plate about an axis passing through a vertex (say A) perpendicular to the plane of the figure is I0. Now the axis is shifted parallel to itself so that moment of inertia about it remains I0. Write the locus of point of intersection of the axis with x- y plane.

A uniform ladder having length 10.0 m and mass 24 kg is resting against a vertical wall making an angle of 53° with it. The vertical wall is smooth but the ground surface is rough. A painter weighing 75 kg climbs up the ladder. If he stays on the ladder at a point 2 m from the upper end, what will be the normal force and the force of friction on the ladder by the ground? What should be the minimum coefficient of friction between ground and ladder for the painter to work safely? (g=10 ms-2)

A uniform ladder of length L and mass m1 rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes an angle θ with the horizontal.
(a) Find the horizontal and vertical forces the ground exerts on the base of the ladder when a firefighter of mass m2 is at a distance x from the bottom.

(b) If the ladder is just on the verge of slipping when the firefighter is a distance d from the bottom, what is the coefficient of static friction between ladder and ground?
