Chapter 5, Problem 36P
| BIO The Trendelberg position. In emergencies involving major blood loss, the doctor will order the patient placed in the Trendelberg position, which is to raise the foot of the bed to get maximum blood flow to the brain. If the coefficient of static friction between the typical patient and the bedsheets is 1.2, what is the maximum angle at which the bed can be tilted with respect to the floor before the patient begins to slide?
