4) Consider a persons near point distance is 25 cm. From this near point distance if a
1.9 105 rad
person views a cell of an animal making an angle of
. Let a compound
microscope with two lens objective and eyepiece separated by 12.0 cm observes the same
cell, then determine the angle made by the cell when observed under this optical
instrument.
Given data: The focal length of objective is 0.49 cm and eyepiece is 2.7 cm.

the pyramid is h.
9) A painter of mass 55.0 kg is climbing up a ladder of mass 12.0 kg. Ladder starts
slipping when the painter is at 70% of the way up the length of the ladder. The bottom of
the ladder is separated by distance 3.0 from wall and top of the ladder placed 4.0 m above
the horizontal surface. Calculate the coefficient of static friction between ladder and the
floor. Assume that the wall is frictionless.
