The 90 kg farmer tries to restrain the cow from escaping by wrapping the rope two
turns around the tree trunk as shown in Figure 3. If the cow exerts a force of 1250 N
on the rope and the coefficients of static friction between the rope and the trunk is µs
= 0.15 and between the man’s shoes and the ground is µs’ = 0.3, determine if the
farmer can keep the cow from escaping. Explain and justify your answer.
