In the treatment of spine injuries, it is often necessary to provide tension along the spinal column to stretch the backbone. One device for doing this is the Stryker frame (Fig. E5.4a). A weight W is attached to the patient (sometimes around a neck collar, Fig. E5.4b), and friction between the person鈥檚 body and the bed prevents sliding.

(a) If the coefficient of static friction between a 78.5-kg patient鈥檚 body and the bed is 0.75, what is the maximum traction force along the spinal column that W can provide without causing the patient to slide?

(b) Under the conditions of maximum traction, what is the tension in each cable attached to the neck collar?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The maximum traction force along the spinal column without the slide of the patient is 577 N .

(b) The tension in each cable under maximum traction conditions is 315 N .

Step by step solution

01

Traction Force

Given Data:

  • The weight of the patient is m=78.5kg
  • The coefficient of static friction between the patient鈥檚 body and the bed is 3=0.75
  • The angle of each cable from horizontal is =65.

The maximum traction force along the spinal column is the same as the static frictional force. The tension in each cable under maximum traction is only due to the vertical components of tension in each cable.

02

Determine the maximum traction force along the spinal column without sliding of patient(a)

The maximum traction force along the spinal column is calculated as by equating it with static friction force as:

F=smg

Here gis the gravitational acceleration, and its value is 9.8m/s2, mis the mass of the patient and 3is the static friction between the patient鈥檚 body and bed.

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

F=0.75wF=0.759.8m/s2F=577N

Therefore, the maximum traction force along the spinal column without the slide of the patient is 577 N

03

Determine the tension in each cable under maximum traction condition(b)

The equation for vertical equilibrium to find tension in each cable is given as follows:

F=2TsinT=F2sin

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

T=0.75w2sin65T=0.41wT=0.4178.5kg9.8m/s2T=315N

Therefore, the tension in each cable under maximum traction conditions is 315 N .

The most powerful engine available for the classic 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray developed 360 horsepower and had a displacement of 327 cubic inches. Express this displacement in liters (L) by using only the conversions 1 L = 1000 cm3 and 1 in. = 2.54 cm.

Calculate the earth鈥檚 gravity force on a 75-kg astronaut who is repairing the Hubble Space Telescope 600 km above the earth鈥檚 surface, and then compare this value with his weight at the earth鈥檚 surface. In view of your result, explain why it is said that astronauts are weightless when they orbit the earth in a satellite such as a space shuttle. Is it because the gravitational pull of the earth is negligibly small?

Neutron stars, such as the one at the center of the Crab Nebula, have about the same mass as our sun but have a much smaller diameter. If you weigh 675Non the earth, what would you weigh at the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 20km?

In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown 5150 km away, and released. The bird found its way back to its nest 13.5 days after release. If we place the origin at the nest and extend the +x-axis to the release point, what was the bird鈥檚 average velocity in (a) for the return flight and (b) for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning?

A rather ordinary middle-aged man is in the hospitalfor a routine checkup. The nurse writes 鈥200鈥 on the patient鈥檚medical chart but forgets to include the units. Which of these quantities could the 200 plausibly represent? The patient鈥檚 (a) mass in kilograms; (b) height in meters; (c) height in centimeters;(d) height in millimeters; (e) age in months
