|| BIO Injuries to the spinal column. In treating spinal injuries, it is often necessary to provide some tension along the spinal column to stretch the backbone. One device for doing this is the Stryker frame, illustrated in part (a) of Figure 5.56. A weight W is attached to the patient (sometimes around a neck collar, as shown in part (b) of the figure), and friction between the person’s body and the bed prevents sliding. (a) If the coefficient of static friction between a 78.5 kg patient's body and the bed is 0.75, what is the maximum traction force along the spinal column that W can provide without causing the patient to slide? (b) Under the conditions of maximum traction, what is the tension in each cable attached to the neck collar?

The pilot has hung a 0.150-kg keepsake at the end of a string from the hinge on the aircrafts canopy. During the dive, the string of the keepsake is seen to remain perpendicular to the top of the canopy. a. What is the angle of the aircrafts dive? b. What is the tension in the string? FIGURE P5.81arrow_forwardI Review | Constants You find it takes 210 N of horizontal force to move an unloaded pickup truck along a level road at a speed of 2.4 m/s. You then load up the pickup and pump up its tires so that its total weight increases by 42% while the coefficient of rolling friction decreases by 19%. Part A Now what horizontal force will you need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed? The speed is low enough that you can ignore air resistance. Express your answer using two significant figures. Πνα ΑΣφ Submit Request Answerarrow_forward

You've both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is. You've been walking at a steady 1.5 m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a 30° angle.
