A setup similar to the one shown in Figure P4.53 is often used in hospi- tals to support and apply a traction force to an injured leg. (a) Determine the force of tension in the rope sup- porting the leg. (b) What is the traction force exerted 8.00 kg Figure P4.53 on the leg? Assume the traction force is horizontal.
