A leg is placed in traction to keep it elevated and prevent it from moving as shown: Small pulley i. What is the tension in the rope (recall: 30.0 one rope gliding through pulleys will have the same tension throughout)? 30.0 m=250 kg ii. With what is force , F, that is acting to pull on the foot and keep the leg under tension? Construct a vector diagram to assist with your solution.arrow_forwardSolve it correctly please.

- Q4: Calculate elastic compliance constants (S's) related to C's in the following matrix. [C11 C12 C13] C21 C22 C23 C31 C32 C33arrow_forwardPoints for stress vs strain (in image) Assume the compressive concrete strength (f’c) is 3,000 lb/in2 (psi)Calculate a cubic function (3rd order polynomial – Ax3+Bx2+Cx+Constant)Use this function to create a function that describes the slope of the cubic function (the derivative of thecubic function). This new function allows you to calculate the tangent to any point along the curve. Thetangent is the modulus of elasticity (E). The concrete code provides a formula to calculate E for concrete. That formula is:E = 57,000√??′, where f’c is in units of psi, and E is in units of psi.Use the derivative function you calculated to locate the point on the curve where the slope of the curvematches E using the concrete code formula. Express that stress point on the curve as a percentage ofthe compressive strength of the concrete. Now, calculate the secant modulus for the test case using 1,500 psi (50% f’c) as the arbitrary point onthe curve.Assume fracture occurs at the last point…arrow_forwardQ1arrow_forward
