Below is a diagram of a human arm. 5.0 cm F, M -15 cm- -35 cm- W. B The forearm is lifted by the biceps muscle, which is attached approximately 5.0 cm from the joint. Champion athletes are often found to have muscle attachments farther from the joint than the average person (5.5 cm). (a) Why does this small change in the muscle attachment position give an advantage when lifting or throwing? Explain clearly, referring to the above diagram.108

A car skidded off an icy road and became stuck in deep snow at the road shoulder. Another car, of 1400 kg mass, attempted to jerk the stuck vehicle back onto the road using a 5 m steel tow cable of stiffness k = 5000 N/mm. The traction available to the rescue car prevented it from exerting any significant force on the cable. With the aid of a push from bystanders, the rescue car was able to back against the stuck car and then go forward and reach a speed of 4 km/h at the instant the cable became taut. If the cable is attached rigidly to the masses of the cars, estimate the maximum impact force that can be developed in the cable, and the resulting cable elongation. Assume that the steady state force, acting on the rope, is equal to the weight of the car.
A 11120 N car is designed with a 310 cm wheelbase. The center of gravity is located 60 cm above the pavement and 105 cm behind the front axle. If the coefficient of road adhesion is 0.6, what is the maximum tractive effort that can be developed if the car is (a) front-wheel drive and (b) rear-wheel drive? (c) how far back from the front axle would the center of gravity have to be to ensure that the maximum tractive effort developed for front- and rear-wheel drive options is equal?

An Olympic lifter (m = 103kg) is holding a lift with a mass of 350 kg. The bar exerts a purely vertical force that is equally distributed between both hands. Each arm has a mass of 9 kg, are 0.8m long and form a 40° angle with the horizontal. The CoM for each arm is 0.5 m from hand.

To get up on the roof, a person (mass 85.0 kg) places a 6.20 m aluminum ladder (mass 15.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The top of the ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to be frictionless. The center of mass of the ladder is 2.00 m from the base, as measured along the ladder. The person is standing on the ladder 3.00 m from the base, as measured along the ladder. Find the normal reaction and friction forces (in N) on the ladder at its base. (Enter the magnitudes.)

Consider a person who momentarily puts all of their body weight on one leg when walking or running. The forces acting on the leg and the corresponding biomechanical model of the system are shown in Fig.- Prob. 10(a) and (b). Point O corresponds to the center of rotation of the hip joint. A is the connection point of the hip abductor muscle with the femur; point B is the center of gravity of the leg; and C is the point of application of the ground reactive force. The distances between point A and points O, B, and C are: a = 8.6 cm, b = 34.3 cm, and c = 89.4 cm. The angles formed by the femoral neck and the longitudinal axis of the femur with respect to the horizontal are alpha = 43° and beta = 79°, respectively. Furthermore, for this position of the person standing on one leg, it has been estimated that the magnitude of the force exerted by the hip abductor muscle is FM = 2062.6 N and its line of action forms an angle of theta = 69° with respect to the horizontal. If the magnitude of…
A manual chain hoist is a machine used to lift a 125 kg crate. A force of 200 N is applied to the effort chain through a distance of 3m, and the crate is lifted a distance of 0.4m. What is the Mechanical Advantage provided by the chain hoist?
One of your employees is complaining of knee pain on the R. While assessing his workstation, you noted that from a sitting position (starting position: 90 deg flexion), the employee needs to exert a lot of effort to extend his right knee to 45 deg from the starting point. The length of the limb (from the tibial tuberosity to the heel area) is measured to be 38 cm. What now is the linear distance traveled by the limb from the initial position to 45 degrees of knee extension?
