Chapter 6: Q.41 (page 156)

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 4.0 kg, and the doctor has decided to hang a 6.0 kg mass from the rope. The boot is held suspended by the ropes, as shown in FIGURE P6.41, 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胃for the upper rope?

c. What is the net traction force pulling on the leg?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Tension in rope = 58.8N

b. Proper angle 胃for the upper rope = 67.5掳

c. Net traction force pulling on the leg = 79.0N

Step by step solution

01

- Tension

Tension Force : - Force that is transmitted through the a rope, string or wire when pulled by forces acting from opposite sides.

02

- Given

Mass of foot and boot = 4.0kg

Hanging mass = 6.0kg

Angle(胃) = 12掳

03

Step 3

a. The amount of tension in rope : -

鈭� Fy = T鈭扢g =0

M = mass of the hanging weight

T = Mg

=6.0脳9.81

T =58.8 N

04

Step 4

b. 鈭�Fy = T sin胃- T sin 12掳-mg = 0

Solving for the angles

胃= sin鈭�1 Tsin12掳+mgT

T = Mg

胃= sin鈭�1 role="math" localid="1647584331124" sin12掳+mM

胃= sin鈭�1 0.027+46.0

胃= sin鈭�1 (0.873)

胃= 60.80掳

05

Step 5

鈭�Fx = T cos 60.80掳 + T cos 12掳 鈭� Ffraction=0

Ffraction= T (cos 60.80掳 + cos 12掳)

= 58.8 (0.487 + 0.978)

Ffraction= 86.14N

Zach, whose mass is 80 kg, is in an elevator descending at 10 m/s. The elevator takes 3.0 s to brake to a stop at the first floor.

a. What is Zach鈥檚 weight before the elevator starts braking?

b. What is Zach鈥檚 weight while the elevator is braking?

Large objects have inertia and tend to keep moving-Newton's BI0 first law. Life is very different for small microorganisms that swim through water. For them, drag forces are so large that they instantly stop, without coasting, if they cease their swimming motion. To swim at constant speed, they must exert a constant propulsion force by rotating corkscrew-like flagella or beating hair-like cilia. The quadratic model of drag of Equation 6.15fails for very small particles. Instead, a small object moving in liquid experiences a linear drag force, F鈫�drag=(bv, the direction opposite the motion), where bis a constant. For a sphere of radius R, the drag constant can be shown to be b=6蟺畏R, where 畏is the viscosity of the liquid. Water at 20鈭�Chas viscosity 1.0脳10鈭�3Ns/m2.

a. A paramecium is about 100渭mlong. If it's modeled as a sphere, how much propulsion force must it exert to swim at a typical speed of 1.0mm/s? How about the propulsion force of a 2.0-渭m-diameter E. coli bacterium swimming at 30渭m/s?

b. The propulsion forces are very small, but so are the organisms. To judge whether the propulsion force is large or small relative to the organism, compute the acceleration that the propulsion force could give each organism if there were no drag. The density of both organisms is the same as that of water, 1000kg/m3.

Suppose you push a hockey puck of mass m across frictionless ice for 1.0 s, starting from rest, giving the puck speed v after traveling distance d. If you repeat the experiment with a puck of mass 2m, pushing with the same force, a. How long will you have to push for the puck to reach the same speed v?

b. How long will you have to push for the puck to travel the same distance d?

In an electricity experiment, a 1.0gplastic ball is suspended on a 60-cm-long string and given an electric charge. A charged rod brought near the ball exerts a horizontal electrical force Felec鈫�on it, causing the ball to swing out to a 20掳angle and remain there.

a. What is the magnitude of Felec鈫�?

b. What is the tension in the string
