a person with a femoral fracture lies in traction in order to to reset the healing bone. (a) based on the schematic, discuss qualitatively all of the places where friction acts in this system. (b) for the sake of this problem, pretend that the pulleys are replaced with fixed, smooth metal bars, and that the rope can slide around them with coefficient of static friction μ = 0.02. assuming a reasonable value for w and using other visual clues from the diagram, estimate the total vector force transmitted to the knee assuming (i) impending motion of the weight upward and (ii) impending motion of the weight downward?

Ablock of mass 1.5 kg slides down an inclined plane that has an angle of 15. if the inclined plane has no friction and the block starts at a height of 3 m, how much kinetic energy does the block have when it reaches the bottom? acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s2. a. 6.8 j b. 50.9 j c. 0 j d. 44.1 j

Which safety measures should you follow during a thunderstorm? check all that apply. (a) avoid touching anything that conducts electricity. (b) avoid touching a person who has been struck by lightning. (c) go outside. (d) keep your computer turned off. (e) stay out of water. (f) stay inside.

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.
