An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying onl a rope and a bag of tools. First he tries to throw a rope to his fellow astronaut, but the rope is too short. In a last ditch effort, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion, away from the space station. The astronaut has a mass of ma = 124 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of m, = 10.0 kg. The astronaut is moving away from the space station at v₁ = 2.10 m/s. What is the minimum final speed Ubf of the bag of tools with respect to the space station that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever? Ub.f= m/s

Assume the acceleration is constant.
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 kgkg, and the doctor has decided to hang a m� = 6.6 kgkg mass from the rope. The boot is held suspended by the ropes and does not touch the bed. (Figure 1) Determine the amount of tension in the rope by using Newton’s laws to analyze the hanging mass. Assume that ϕ� = 11 ∘∘ .Hint: If the pulleys are frictionless, which we will assume, the tension in the rope is constant from one end to the other. The net traction force needs to pull straight out on the leg. What is the proper angle θ� for the upper rope? What is the net traction force pulling on the leg?
