The chewing muscle, the masseter, is one of the strongest in the human body. It is attached to the mandible (lower jawbone). The jawbone is pivoted about a socket just in front of the auditory canal. The forces acting on the jawbone are equivalent to those acting on the curved bar as shown in the figure. ?C is the force exerted against the jawbone by the food being chewed, ?T is the tension in the masseter, and ?R is the force exerted on the mandible by the socket. Find (a) ?T and (b) ?R if you bite down on a piece of steak with a force of 50.6 N. Neglect the weight of the jawbone. (a)T. (b)R.
