What is the application of pulling force to hold a bone in correct alignment?

Applying a pulling force to hold a bone in correct alignment is commonly used in orthopedic traction. This technique is used to realign fractured or dislocated bones, reducing pain and promoting proper healing by maintaining the bone in the correct position. Different types of traction methods can be applied, such as skin traction, skeletal traction, or external fixation, depending on the specific needs of the patient and the type of fracture or dislocation.


Does centrifugal force increases with deceleration traction and acceleration?

Centrifugal force is the apparent outward force experienced in a rotating reference frame. It increases with acceleration and decreases with deceleration because it is directly proportional to the mass of the object and the square of the velocity. Traction does not directly affect centrifugal force, as it is a force related to the motion of an object in a curved path.


Give a brief detail about traction?

In physics, traction is friction between two objects that are touching. When a car in on ice, the coefficient of friction between the tires and the ice is very low. This is when the car is said to have "no traction." In reality it has some traction, just a relatively small amount of traction when compared to it's momentum. Traction is friction. Oh, and the centrifugal force doesn't exist. It's a fool's way of explaining centripetal force. Ask more tech/physics/math questions at www.electricalninja.com in the "Ask a Ninja" section.


What kind of traction demonstrates by a vehicle not moving?

Gravity and no force being applied to the vehicle. Traction has nothing to do with it. It boils down to Newtons first law which states, "Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it".


What is called the force between the tire and the road?

The force between the tire and the road is called frictional force. This force allows the tire to grip the road surface and provide traction for the vehicle to move.


Is neck traction a useful technique for treating pinched nerves?

Neck traction, also called cervical traction, is a type of stretching that is often used for neck pain. Traction is usually used on the neck, spine, arms, legs, and pelvis to help with any muscle, joint, or bone problems. Neck traction, or cervical traction, also uses pulling force on the neck. These are usually stretches or other exercises that are used to relieve neck pain. These can sometimes involve devices that you can use at home.    Neck traction also uses the pulling force of your neck so it works well for people suffering from pinched nerves. A trained and experienced physical therapist is well aware of the benefits of traction therapy for treating the problem of pinched nerves. 


What is the force that supports an object against gravity?

The force that supports an object against gravity is called the normal force. It is exerted by a surface to prevent objects from falling through it. The normal force equals the force of gravity acting on the object.
