- The leather rein used to fasten the horse to the hitching rail weighs 3.5 oz per foot. The coefficient of static friction between the rail and the rein is 0.6. If a 34-lb force acting on the bridle is sufficient to restrain the horse, determine the smallest safe length L for the free end of the rein.arrow_forwardHow many turns of rope around the capstan are needed for the 40-lb force to resist the 8000-lb pull of a docked ship?
