In the treatment of spine injuries it is often necessary to


In the treatment of spine injuries, it is often necessary to provide some tension along the spinal column to stretch the backbone. One device for doing this is the Stryker frame. A weight W is attached to the patient and friction between the person's body and the bed prevents sliding. a. If the coefficient of static friction between a 78.5 kg patient's body and the bed is 0.75, what is the maximum traction force along the spinal column that W can provide without causing the patient to slide? b. The cable is attached to the patients head by two cables inserted into a special neck collar, shown below. What is the tension in each of the cables attached to this neck collar?
