The forearm shown below is positioned at an angle with respect to the upper arm , and a 5.0- kg mass is held in the hand. The total mass of the forearm and hand is 3.0 kg, and their center of mass is 15.0 cm from the elbow. (a) What is the magnitude of the force that the biceps muscle exerts on the forearm for =60 ? (b) What is the magnitude of the force on the elbow joint for the same angle? (c) How do these forces depend on the angle ?
Swimmers and athletes during competition need to go through certain postures at the beginning of the race. Consider the balance of the person and why start-offs are so important for races.
Certain of dinosaurs were bipedal (walked on two legs). What at is a good reason that these creatures invariably had long tails if they had long necks?
A thin 2.50 kg box rests on a 6.00 kg board that hangs over the end of a table, as shown in (Figure 1). How far can the center of the box be from the end of the table before the board begins to tilt?
A large airplane typically has three sets of wheels: one at the front and two farther back, one on each side under the wings. Consider the Boeing 787 "Dreamliner", with a mass of 198000 kg. In this particular model, the distance from the front wheels to the rear set of wheels is 23.8 m. a) If the center of mass of the airplane is along a line through the center and 3.00 m in front of the rear wheels, how much force, in meganewtons, does the ground exert on each set of rear wheels when the plane is at rest on the runway? b) How much force, in meganewtons, does the ground exert on the front set of wheels?
1.To balance a 35.5-kg automobile tire and wheel, a mechanic must place a 50.2-g lead weight 25.0 cm from the center of the wheel. When the wheel is balanced, its center of mass is exactly at the center of the wheel. How far from the center of the wheel was its center of mass before the lead weight was added?Explain and labled the problem.
IP To determine the location of her center of mass, a physics student lies on a lightweight plank supported by two scales 2.50 m apart, as indicated in the figure (Figure 1). Assume the left scale reads 300 N, and the right scale reads 132 N. Find the student's mass. Find the distance from the student's head to her center of mass.
