A man is standing on a ladder as shown in figure. N 1 and N 2 are the normal reactions and f the force of friction. Then match the following table:

Column I | Column II |
(i) As the man moves up the ladder | [A] N1 will increase |
(ii) If weight of ladder is increased | [B] N1 will decrease |
[C] N2 will increase | |
[D] N2 will decrease | |
[E] f will increase |
Correct Matrix Matching
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
(i) N 1 will increase, f will increase ; (ii) N 1 will increase, f will increase, N 2 will increase
(i)-[A], [E], (ii)-[A], [E], [C]
Sol. (i) N 1 will increase, f will increase
(ii) N 1 will increase, f will increase, N 2 will increase
