Question 2) The figure shows a mechanical model of the Russel fracture traction device and the leg. The leg is held in balance in the position indicated by the two weights attached to the two cables. The combined weight of the leg and the cast is W=210 N. The horizontal distance between points A and B where the cables are attached to the leg is L=100 cm and the vertical distance is d=6 cm. Point C is the center of gravity of the cast and leg at three quarters of the L measured from point A (3L/4= 75 cm). The angle that cable 2 makes with the horizontal is measured as β=33°. Accordingly, in order for the leg to remain in balance in the shown position; a) Find the tensile force T1 in cable 1. (Write your result in N) b) Find the tensile force T2 in cable 2. (Write your result in N) c) Find the angle α of cable 1 with the horizontal. Response
A uniform block measuring 40 cm x 20 cm wighs 1000 N. The width of the block is in contact with the surface of the plane with slop of x = 4 and y = 3. It is pulled up the incline by the force of 1500 N. The coefficient of friction is 0.20. Determine the following:1. the maximum height of the force from the incline so that the block does not tip over as it slides up the incline. Answer in 1 decimal place.2. the minimum height of the force from the incline so that the block does not tip over as it slides up the incline. Answer in 2 decimal places
torque (or moment) is defined as a force acting perpendicular to a moment arm about a moment center and is defined as: Torque = Force x Distance. A technician is required to apply a torque of 360 lb.·in. (pound·inch) to a series of bolts in an assembly. As part of the technical report that needs to accompany the assembly, you must convert this value to lb.·ft. (pound·foot) and N·m. (Netwon·meter).
