Get started for freeAn accident victim with a broken leg is being placed in traction. The patient wears a special boot with a pulley attached to the sole. The foot and boot together have a mass of , and the doctor has decided to hang a mass from the rope. The boot is held suspended by the ropes, as shown in , and does not touch the bed.
a. Determine the amount of tension in the rope by using Newton’s laws to analyze the hanging mass.
b. The net traction force needs to pull straight out on the leg. What is the proper angle u for the upper rope?
c. What is the net traction force pulling on the leg?
A stubborn, 120 kg mule sits down and refuses to move. To drag the mule to the barn, the exasperated farmer ties a rope around the mule and pulls with his maximum force of 800 N. The coefficients of friction between the mule and the ground are ms = 0.8 and mk = 0.5. Is the farmer able to move the mule?
Compressed air is used to fire a 50 g ball vertically upward from a 1.0 m-tall tube. The air exerts an upward force of 2N on the ball as long as it is in the tube. How high does the ball go above the top of the tube?
