Okay guys, I started out with a free-body diagram showing the forces on the boot. I found the force of weight on the boot to be 33.32N. I then set fnet(y) equal to zero, which showed that 58.8 sin(theta)=33.2+58.8sin(10) and found the angle to be 47.58 degrees, which was correct.
Now I just...
Homework Statement
An accident victim with a broken leg is being placed in traction. The patient wears a special boot with a pulley attached to the sole. The foot and boot together have a mass of m = 3.4 kg, and the doctor has decided to hang a 6.0 kg mass from the rope. The boot is held...
I too am working on this problem and can't get past part A.
I have no clue what to do on the angle part.
I know the Fnet(y) should be zero since the boot is pulling straight out, but I can't get any further than that...
I also imagine somehow that i will find acceleration along the x-axis...
