Chapter 5, Problem 40P
Patients with severe leg breaks arc often placed in traction, with an external force countering muscles that would pull too hard on the broken bones. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5.34, the mass m is 4.8 kg, and the pulleys can be considered massless and frictionless. Find the horizontal traction force applied to the leg.
