Problem Set #4
For this problem set, read the questions carefully. When setting up your equations of static equilibrium consider what you know/don’t know. Do you first need to calculate Net Joint Moment to help you solve for the muscle forces (F
m
)? Can you use information about Muscle forces to determine the Net Joint Moment about a particular joint?
1.
The forearm (including the hand) segment has a mass of 3 kg and its center of mass is located 10 cm from the elbow as illustrated. The single muscle equivalent flexor force (F
m
; assume no other muscles
are acting active) acts 5 cm from the elbow joint. Assuming no other forces are acting, what muscular
force (F
m
) pulling at an angle of 35° would be required to keep the segment position 20° from the horizontal. The system is in Static Equilibrium. Remember, a complete free body diagram is always considered an integral part of a statics solution.
2.
A certain amount of abdominal muscle force (F
Abs-muscle
) is needed to hold the lifting posture
illustrated. The force (F
com
) is the effect of the mass of the barbell, arms and upper trunk combined (100 Kg). The perpendicular distance between the line of action of F
com and the
axis of rotation about the Hip (point C) is 25 cm; the moment arm for the abdominal muscle
force to point C is 12.5 cm. Calculate the force exerted by the abdominal musculature; assume that no other tissues can create a moment of force about C. Remember the hint above!

An 80 kg man performs strengthening exercises with a 10 kg weight boot. Visualize that this man is facing you, standing in the frontal plane. While standing on his right foot, he externally (lateral) rotates his leg slightly and then moves his entire left leg (thigh, lower leg & foot; which is 65 cm in length) from the hip joint and holds it in an abducted position 20° from the global vertical axis
. Given
the following information (below), draw a free body diagram of the system. How much and what moment (abduction or adduction) must be provided by the hip to maintain this position?
(a) the center of mass of the weight boot is located 60 cm below the hip joint (measured along
the length of the leg)
(b) the mass of the whole limb (thigh, lower leg & foot) is 14.55% of the total body weight
(c)
the center of mass of the limb is located at a point that is 43.3% of the distance of the leg, as
measured from the proximal end (i.e. hip joint).
4.
A 70 kg gymnast is exercising on parallel bars. He is supporting himself off the ground on both hands
such that the forearms are 20° from the vertical and the elbow’s relative joint angle is 160°. The axis of the elbow joint (along the bone) is 30 cm from the hand’s contact point with the bar. The moment arm length of the triceps at the elbow is 2.5 cm and the triceps are pulling directly upwards. The mass
of the forearm and hand, acting at 15 cm from the elbow is 1.4 kg. Assuming both arms carry equal loads: (A) Calculate the elbow joint net joint reaction forces at the right
elbow, and (B) Calculate the muscle force exerted by the athlete’s right
arm
only
that is needed to maintain this posture.

A below knee amputee is just beginning to walk with a prosthesis. The total below knee mass is 3.5 kg. The ground reaction force just after heel contact is 572 N acting as illustrated below. Assuming this is a static situation, and that there is minimal movement between the residual limb and the socket
of the prosthetic, estimate:
(a) the net joint reaction forces at the knee
(b) the net joint moment about the knee joint. Use anatomical terms
(knee flexion or extension) to describe the direction of this net
joint moment. Which muscle group would be active?
(c) This individual cannot use the prosthesis for very long because of skin tenderness and rapid fatigue. You
are asked by a physiotherapist colleague working with this individual to help with this.
Use the drawing of an able bodied individual doing a similar exercise (below) to help you draw your FBD for this amputee situation. A therapist places a weight on the foot (picture to left) and passively raises the leg
in an extended position
. The rehabilitation exercise for the patient is to maintain this static leg position as long as possible (situation to right). Use your advanced knowledge about biomechanics to assist him in determining the amount of weight the patient should exercise with (
with knee in extended position
) to create the same muscle demand as experienced at this point in the gait cycle. The perpendicular distance (dotted line) from the knee to a weight attached to the residual limb is 15 cm.
