The figure below shows the head of a patient being fixed to a Russell Traction System, where the patient is laying down on his back on a bed that is inclined by 20o with the horizontal as shown. The static frictional force between the patient and the bed is 190N and the coefficient of static friction is 0.4. (a) Find the weight of the patient.
(b) Find the minimum balancing mass, M that stretches the patient from upwards

Rubber on floor tile has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 1.0 and a coefficient of static friction of 2.0. how much force would a 3.5 lb. robot need to produce in order to start moving?

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.
