Chapter 4: Q21CQ (page 160)

If a leg is suspended by a traction setup as shown in Figure 4.30, what is the tension in the rope?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The tension in the rope is equal to the weight of the leg.

Step by step solution

01

Concept of Normal Force

Whatever supports a load, it must supply an upward force equal to the weight of the load. This upward force is called the normal force.

02

Determine the tension in the rope

Whatever supports a load, it must supply an upward force called normal force, which is equal to the weight of the load.

Here, the leg is supported by a rope. So, the rope must supply an upward force in the form of tension which must be equal to the weight of the leg.

Hence, the tension in the rope is equal to the weight of the leg.

A large rocket has a mass of 2.00脳106 kg at takeoff, and its engines produce a thrust of 3.50脳107 N.

(a) Find its initial acceleration if it takes off vertically.

(b) How long does it take to reach a velocity of 120 km/h straight up, assuming constant mass and thrust?

(c) In reality, the mass of a rocket decreases significantly as its fuel is consumed. Describe qualitatively how this affects the acceleration and time for this motion.

A brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 800 N on him. The mass of the losing player plus equipment is 90.0 kg, and he is accelerating at 1.20 m/s2 backward. (a) What is the force of friction between the losing player鈥檚 feet and the grass? (b) What force does the winning player exert on the ground to move forward if his mass plus equipment is 110 kg?

(c) Draw a sketch of the situation showing the system of interest used to solve each part. For this situation, draw a free-body diagram and write the net force equation.

How are inertia and mass related?

Two teams of nine members each engage in a tug of war. Each of the first team鈥檚 members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts an average force of 1350 N horizontally. Each of the second team鈥檚 members has an average mass of 73 kg and exerts an average force of 1365 N horizontally.

(a) What is magnitude of the acceleration of the two teams?

(b) What is the tension in the section of rope between the teams?

Why can we neglect forces such as those holding a body together when we apply Newton鈥檚 second law of motion?
