A person working at a drafting board may hold her head as shown in Figure 9.40, requiring muscle action to support the head. The three major acting forces are shown. Calculate the direction and magnitude of the force supplied by the upper vertebrae FV to hold the head stationary, assuming that this force acts along a line through the center of mass as do the weight and muscle force.
Explain why the forces in our joints are several times larger than the forces we exert on the outside world with our limbs. Can these forces be even greater than muscle forces (see previous Question)?
The upper leg muscle (quadriceps) exerts a force of 1250 N, which is carried by a tendon over the kneecap (the patella) at the angles shown in Figure 9.38. Find the direction and magnitude of the force exerted by the kneecap on the upper leg bone (the femur). Figure 9.38 The knee joint works like a hinge to bend and straighten the lower leg. It permits a person to sit, stand, and pivot.
Suppose a 900-kg car is on the bridge in Figure 9.34 with its center of mass halfway between the hinges and the cable attachments. (The bridge is supported by the cables and hinges only.) (a) Find the force in the cables. (b) Find the direction and magnitude of the force exerted by the hinges on the bridge.
When visiting some countries, you may see a person balancing a load on the head. Explain why the center of mass of the load needs to be directly above the person's neck vertebrae.
A uniform 40.0-kg scaffold of length 60 m is supported by tow light cables below. An 80.0 kg painter stands 1.0 m from the left end of the scaffold, and his painting equipment is 1.5 m from the right end. If the tension in the cable is twice that in the right cable, find the cables and mass of the equipment.
A father lifts his child as shown in Figure 9.43. What force should the upper leg muscle exert to lift the child at a constant speed?
In order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tee 15 m away as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 400 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.30 m, as shown. What is the force of the rope on the car?
The center of gravity of a 50g meter stick is at 51 cm and the stick is supported at 70 cm. Where must an 80g object be hung in order to have equilibrium?draw a force diagram using a suitable scale and perform the necessary calculations.
9. Give two everyday examples of objects that are in static equilibrium
Determine the tension force F required to stabilize the 500 lb tension so that the resultant force acts vertically down the supporting column. (Scale: 1” = 250 lb) FGiven = 500 lb, θ = 45° from the x-axis F, α = 30° from the y-axis
A 1350N window washers platform, 3.5 m long is suspended by two vertical wires at its ends. A 600N person is standing 2.0m form the right end. What are the tensions on both sides in two wires?
