The Russell Traction System To immobilize a fractured femur (the thigh bone), doctors often utilize the Russell traction system illustrated in the figure. Notice that one force is applied directly to the knee, F₁.while two other forces, F₂ and F3 are applied to the foot. The latter two forces combine to give a force F₂ +F3 that is transmitted through the lower leg to the knee. The result is that the knee experiences the total force Ftotal = F₁+F₂+F3. The goal of this traction system is to have P total directly in line with the fractured femur, at an angle of 20.0 above the horizontal.(Figure 1) Find the angle required to produce this alignment of total (Assume the pulleys are ideal.)

Box m₁ = 2.4 kg remains stacked on box m₂ = 15.9 kg as they are pulled from rest across a smooth, horizontal floor by a constant horizontal force of magnitude P = 24.4 N, as in the figure. What is the magnitude Fnet of the net force on the upper box? net m1 m2 = P N
You are out on a hike and come across an unfortunate scene: a fellow hiker has fallen off a ledge. You happen to be carrying a long rope, and bravely decide to help. You tie the rope to a rock of mass mR=500 kgmR=500 kg and make your way over the ledge (see figure). If the coefficient of static friction between the rock and the ground is μS=0.355μS=0.355, and your mass is mH=70.5 kgmH=70.5 kg, what is the maximum mass of the fallen hiker (mFmF) that the rock can hold so that you two can make it back up from the ledge? Assume that where the rope passes the ledge is frictionless and that the rope is parallel to the ground.
The 137-lb force P is applied to the 240-lb crate, which is stationary before the force is applied. Determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force F exerted by the horizontal surface on the crate. The friction force is positive if to the right, negative if to the left. Assume μ = 0.51, Mk = 0.39. P Answer: F = i Mk lb

You can hold a book against the wall, preventing it from sliding down, if you press your hand against it. Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the book and the wall is 0.450, but there is no friction between your hand and the book. The mass of your book is 3.75 kg. What minimum force (P) do you need to apply to keep the book from slipping down the wall? Give your answer in units of Newtons. Hint: apply Newton's 2nd law to the book, and set the acceleration equal to zero, since it is not moving! P
Which of the following best describes the directions of friction and normal force? Your answer: Friction is always horizontal and normal force is always vertical. Friction is always horizontal and normal force is always perpendicular to the surface. Friction is always parallel to the surface and normal force is always vertical. Friction is always parallel to the surface and normal force is always perpendicular to the surface. There is no consistent pattern.

The physics associated with statics has considerable applications in engineering. As a mechanical engineer working for a tow-truck manufacturer, you have been asked to evaluate the purchase of a new line of towing cable. The supplier claims that, although its cables are not as strong as its competitors (maximum tension capability of 7640 lb), the cost savings make it a good investment. A schematic of the towing configuration is shown. The car weighs 5469 lb, which is as large as the company expects their tow trucks to service. The overall length ? of the car is 10.1 ft, and the distance ? between the midpoints of the front and back tires is 9.09 ft. The bottom of the car's frame is a height ℎf=0.300 above the ground, and the car's center of mass is a height ℎCM=1.50 above the bottom of the car's frame. The angle ? between the midpoint of the tires and the tow cable is 50.0∘. Assume the CM of the car is positioned exactly halfway across its length, the geometry of the wheels and…

The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the block is 0.55, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between them is 0.38.
