1. The homogeneous semicylinder has a mass m and mass center at G. The
angle is as large as possible such that it does not slip down the plane. The
coefficient of static friction between the plane and the cylinder is s = 0.3.
What is the angle for this case?

2. The uniform ladder rests along the wall of a building at A and on the roof at B.
If the ladder has a weight W and the surfaces at A and B are assumed
smooth, determine the angle for equilibrium. Given: a := 5.4m W := 100N
1 := 40deg
