An 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 4.0kg, and the doctor has decided to hang a 6.0kgmass from the rope. The boot is held suspended by the ropes, as shown in FIGUREP6.41, and does not touch the bed.

a. Determine the amount of tension in the rope by using Newton鈥檚 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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The amount of tension in the rope is 58.8N

(b) The proper angel for the upper rope is 67.7

(c) The net traction force pulling the leg is 79N

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The extra mass hanged with patient's footM=6kg

The mass of bootm=4kg

02

Calculation of A

(a) The value of tension is same throughout the wire, therefore, the tension is due to mass hanging. From the force body diagram


Free body diagram 1

The sum of forces is given by

Fy=T-Mg=0I

As the body is not accelerating then the net force will be zero

Therefore

T=MgII

Substituting the values of mass (M) and g in the above equation, we can calculate the amount of tension in the rope.

T=Mg=6.0kg9.8m/s2T=58.8N

03

Calculation of B

(b) To calculate the traction force in horizontal direction, the tension force is needed to cancel with the weight of the boot.

The weight of the bootFG=mgIII


Force body diagram 2

From the body diagram2

The forces in the vertical direction are given by

Fy=Tsin-Tsin15-mg=0IV

Solving equation (IV), the angles is obtained as

=sin-1Tsin15+mgTV

Also,

T=MgVI

Therefore,

=sin-1sin15+mMVII

Substituting the values of mass of the boot mand the extra mass hanged Min above equation, the value of angle is given by

=sin-1sin15+mMVII

04

Calculation of C

(c) since all the vertical components of the force are balanced, therefore the traction force is all horizontal,

Fx=Tcos-Tcos15-Ftraction=0IX

Now taking the value of =67.7from the equation VIIIand substituting it in equation IX

Fx=Tcos67.7-Tcos15-Ftraction=0X

So, traction force is calculated as

Ftraction=Tcos67.7+cos15Ftraction=58.81.35=79N
