Differentiate arctan(x) with respect to x

We can set arctan(x) = y. Remember that arctan(x) is the inverse of tan(x), so we can take the tangent of both sides to give: tan(arctan(x)) = x = tan(y). Tan(x) has the standard derivative of sec^2(x) (w...

A uniform ladder of mass 5 kg sits upon a smooth wall and atop a rough floor. The floor and wall are perpendicular. Draw a free body diagram for the ladder (you do not need to calculate any forces).

Diagram should include two orthogonal lines, representing the wall and floor. Connecting them should be a diaganol line (the ladder)
At the midpoint of the line should be a vertical downward...
