A setup similar to the one shown in the figure below is often used in hospitals to support and apply a traction force to an injured leg.
Figure
An illustration shows a horizontal leg attached to a complex pulley system comprised of four pulleys, an 8.00 kg block, and a long rope. Refer to the adjacent description for more details.
Description
(a) Determine the force of tension in the rope supporting the
leg.
N
(b) What is the traction force exerted on the leg? Assume the
traction force is horizontal.
N
As the system is at rest , so sum of all forces along x- axis will be zero. Tension in the rope will be same everywhere i.e. T

A setup similar to the one shown in the figure below is often used in hospitals to support and apply a horizontal traction force to an injured leg. (Let m = 5.55 kg and theta = 62 degree.) Determine the force of tension in the rope supporting the leg. N What is the traction force exerted to the right on the leg? N
QUESTION 2 A line shaft supporting two pulleys A and B is shown in Figure (below). Power is supplied to the shaft by means of a vertical belt on pulley A, which is then transmitted to pulley B carrying a horizontal belt. The ratio of belt tensions on tight and loose sides is 3:1 and the maximum tension in either belt is limited to 2.7 kN. The maximum belts tension will occur in belt on pulley A due to smaller diameter....
The system shown in the figure below consists of a mass M = 3.3-kg block resting on a frictionless horizontal ledge. This block is attached to a string that passes over a pulley, and the other end of the string is attached to a hanging m = 1.7-kg block. The pulley is a uniform disk of radius 8.0 cm and mass 0.60 kg. (a) What is the acceleration of each block? acceleration of M = 3.3 kg _____ m/s2 acceleration...
Two blocks are connected by a lightweight string passing over a pulley, as shown in the figure below. The block with mass m1 = 16.5 kg on the incline plane accelerates up the plane with negligible friction. The block's acceleration is a = 1.40 m/s2, and the tension in the segment of string attached to this block is T1. The hanging block has a mass of m2 = 23.5 kg, and the tension in the string attached to it is T2....
Two blocks are connected by a lightweight string passing over a pulley, as shown in the figure below. The block with mass m1 = 16.5 kg on the incline plane accelerates up the plane with negligible friction. The block's acceleration is a = 1.80 m/s2, and the tension in the segment of string attached to this block is T1. The hanging block has a mass of m2 = 22.5 kg, and the tension in the string attached to it is...
A person bending forward to lift a load "with his back" (Figure a) rather than "with his knees" can be injured by large forces exerted on the muscles and vertebrae. The spine pivots mainly at the fifth lumbar vertebra, with the principal supporting force provided by the erector spinalis muscle in the back. To see the magnitude of the forces involved, and to understand why back problems are common among humans, consider the model shown in Figure b, of a...
PART B pls ty Figure 3 shows a schematic arrangement of an in-line tension meter, commonly used to sense the tension T across a cable. The cable is routed through three pulleys (P1, P2 and Ps). As shown in Figure 3, only one of the pulleys (P2) is attached to the free end of a cantilever beam, sensorized with a set of four strain gauges in a full Wheatstone electrical configuration. The other two pulleys (P and P3) are 2...
Sample Class Problems-Force and Acceleration Prob#l: Two people are pushing a stalled car (the mass of the car is 1850kg). One person applies a force to the car, while the other applies a force of 395N. Both forces act in the same of 560N also acts on the car, but in a direction opposite force arises because of friction and the extent to which the pavement opposes Find the acceleration of the car. direction. A third force to that in...
1. Two forces are applied to a car in an effort to move it, as shown in the Figure below. (a) What is the resultant magnitude and direction of these two forces? (h) If the car has a mass of 3500 kg. what magnitude acceleration does it have? Ignore friction 10 450 M 400 N 2. A 40.0 kg wagon is towed up a hill inclined at 17.5° with respect to the horizontal. The tow rope is parallel to the...
