The device shown in the figure below (Figure 1) is one version of a Russell traction apparatus. It has two functions: to support the injured leg horizontally and at the same time provide a horizontal traction force on it. This can be done by adjusting the weight W and the angle 0. For this patient, his leg (including his foot) is 77.0 cm long (measured from the hip joint) and has a mass of 12.8 kg. Its center of mass is 40.0 cm from the hip joint. A support strap is attached to the patient's ankle 13.0 cm from the bottom of his foot. Figure Hip joint. 13.0 cm > 1 of 1 W Part A What weight W is needed to support the leg horizontally?
