Chapter 4: Q22CQ (page 160)

In a traction setup for a broken bone, with pulleys and rope available, how might we be able to increase the force along the femur using the same weight? (See Figure 4.30.) (Note that the femur is the shin bone shown in this image.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The force can be increased or decreased using the same weight using pulleys and ropes.

Step by step solution

01

The tension in the rope is equal to the weight of the leg.Step 1: 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

Referring to figure 4.30, the traction setup shown helps in increasing the force across the broken bone using ropes and pulleys. By changing the angle胃 shown in the figure, the magnitude of the force can be increased because as the value of 胃 is increased 0掳to90掳, the value of 蝉颈苍胃also increases.

Hence, the force can be increased or decreased using the same weight.

To simulate the apparent weightlessness of space orbit, astronauts are trained in the hold of a cargo aircraft that is accelerating downward at g. Why will they appear to be weightless, as measured by standing on a bathroom scale, in this accelerated frame of reference? Is there any difference between their apparent weightlessness in orbit and in the aircraft?

Commercial airplanes are sometimes pushed out of the passenger loading area by a tractor.

(a) An 1800-kg tractor exerts a force of 1.75脳104 N backward on the pavement, and the system experiences forces resisting motion that total 2400 N. If the acceleration is 0.150 m/s2, what is the mass of the airplane?

(b) Calculate the force exerted by the tractor on the airplane, assuming 2200 N of the friction is experienced by the airplane.

(c) Draw two sketches showing the systems of interest used to solve each part, including the free-body diagrams for each.

A cartoon shows the toupee coming off the head of an elevator passenger when the elevator rapidly stops during an upward ride. Can this really happen without the person being tied to the floor of the elevator? Explain your answer.

A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.300 m and then accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.900 m above the floor.

(a) Calculate his velocity when he leaves the floor.

(b) Calculate his acceleration while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.300 m.

(c) Calculate the force he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 110 kg.

Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts a force of 75.0 N, the second a force of 90.0 N, friction is 12.0 N, and the mass of the third child plus wagon is 23.0 kg.

(a) What is the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated?

(b) Draw a free-body diagram, including all forces acting on the system.

(c) Calculate the acceleration.

(d) What would the acceleration be if friction were 15.0 N?
