Ina traction setup a broken bone, with pulleys and rope available, how might we be able to Increase the force along the tibia using the weight? (See Figure 4.30) (Note that the tibia is the shin bone shown in this image.) Figure 4.30 A leg is suspended by a traction system in which wires used to transmit forces. Frictionless pulleys crw.ge the direction of the force T without changing Its magnitude.
A freight train consists of two 8.00105 -kg engines and 45 cars with average masses of 5.50105 kg. (a) What force must each engine exert backward on the track to accelerate the train at a rate of 5.00102 m/s2 if the force of friction is 7.50105 N, assuming the engines exert identical forces? This is not a large frictional force for such a massive system. Rolling friction for trains is small, and consequently trains are very energy-efficient transportation systems. (b) What is the magnitude of the force in the coupling between the 37th and 38th cars (this is the force each exerts on the other), assuming all cars have the same mass and that friction is evenly distributed among all of the cars and engines?
A 15.0-lb block rests on the floor. (a) What force does the floor exert on the block? (b) A rope is tied to the block and is run vertically over a pulley. The other end is attached to a free-handing 10.0-lb object. What now is the force exerted by the floor on the 15.0-lb block? (c) If the 10.0-lb object in part (b) is replaced with a 20.0-lb object, what is the force exerted by the floor on the 15.0-lb block?
Review. A rifle bullet with a mass of 12.0 g traveling toward the right at 260 m/s strikes a large hag of sand and penetrates it to a depth of 23.0 cm. Determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force (assumed constant) that acts on the bullet.
The glue on a piece of tape can exert forces. Can these forces be a type of simple friction? Explain, considering especially that tape can stick to vertical walls and even to ceilings.
Two teams of nine members each engage in a tug of war. Each of the first team's members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts an average force of 1350 N horizontally. Each of the second team's members has an average mass of 73 kg and exerts an average force of 1365 N horizontally. (a) What is magnitude of the acceleration of the two teams? (b) What is the tension in the section of rope between the teams?
Two muscles in the back of the leg pull upward on the Achilles tendon, as shown in Figure 4.40 (These muscles are called the medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemius muscle.) Find the magnitude and direction of the total force on the Achilles tendon. What type of movement could be caused by this force?
A horse is harnessed to a sled having a mass of 236 kg, including supplies. The horse must exert a force exceeding 1 240 N at an angle of 35.0 in order to get the sled moving. Treat the sled as a point particle, (a) Calculate the normal force on the sled when the magnitude of the applied force is 1 240 N. (b) Find the coefficient of static friction between the sled and the ground beneath it. (c) Find the static friction force when the horse is exerting a force of 6.20 102 N on the sled at the same angle.

A freight train consists of two 8.00104 -kg engines and 45 cars with average masses of 5.50104 kg. (a) What force must each engine exert backward on the track to accelerate the train at a rate of 5.00102 m/s2 if the force of friction is 7.500105 N, assuming the engines exert identical forces? This is not a large frictional force for such a massive system. Polling friction for trains is small, and consequently trains are very energy-efficient transportation systems. (b) What is the force in the coupling between the 37th and 38th cars (this is the force each exerts on the other), assuming all cars have the same mass and that friction is evenly distributed among all of the cars and engines?
Suppose you have a 120-kg wooden crate resting on a wood floor. (a) What maximum force can you exert horizontally on the crate without moving it? (b) If you continue to exert this force once the crate starts to slip, what will the magnitude of its acceleration then be?
Measuring coefficients of friction A coin is placed near one edge of a book lying on a table, and that edge of the book is lifted until the coin just slips down the incline as shown in Figure P4.82. The angle of the incline, C, called the critical angle, is measured. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for the coin when it is on the verge of slipping and identify all forces acting on it. Your free-body diagram should include a force of static friction acting up the incline. (b) Is the magnitude of the friction force equal to sn for angles less than C? Explain. What can you definitely say about the magnitude of the friction force for any angle c? (c) Show that the coefficient of static friction is given by s = tan c. (d) Once the coin starts to slide down the incline, the angle can be adjusted to a new value c c such that the coin moves down the incline with constant speed. How does observation enable you to obtain the coefficient of kinetic friction? Figure P4.82
