Together with a friend, you are carrying a ladder that weighs 130 N. You have cleverly convinced your friend to hold the ladder 0.1 m from the center of gravity, while you yourself are 1.5 m from the center of gravity. How much of the weight of the ladder are you yourself supporting

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
