A man holds a 192-N ball in his hand, with the forearm horizontal (see the figure). He can support the ball in this position because of the flexor muscle force M→, which is applied perpendicular to the forearm. The forearm weighs 24.2 N and has a center of gravity as indicated. Find (a) the magnitude of M→ and the (b) magnitude and (c) direction (as a positive angle counterclockwise from horizontal) of the force applied by the upper arm bone to the forearm at the elbow joint. Please show how the angle in c was found
If each pulley has a mass of 5 kg, what is the mass "M' that will hold the system in equilibrium? Neglect friction or the pulleys. Provide fbd
Assume a person bends forward to lift a load “with his back” as shown. The spine pivots mainly at the fifth lumbar vertebra, with the principal supporting force provided by the erector spinalis muscle in the back. To see the magnitude of the forces involved, consider the model as shown for a person bending forward to lift a 200-N object. The spine and upper body are represented as a uniform horizontal rod of weight 350 N, pivoted at the base of the spine. The erector spinalis muscle, attached at a point two-thirds of the way up the spine, maintains the position of the back. The angle between the spine and this muscle is θ = 12.08. Find (a) the tension T in the back muscle and (b) the compressional force in the spine. (c) Is this method a good way to lift a load? Explain your answer, using the results of parts (a) and (b). (d) Can you suggest a better method to lift a load?
A bicyclist descends a steep hill having uniform slope. She does not pedal and applies only the rear brake. The rider and bicycle weigh 120lb with center of gravity at point c. Is it possible to descend the hill with uniform speed, and if so, what brake force Q is needed? The coefficient of friction between the tire and pavement is 1.1, and between the brake pad and wheel rim is 0.7, a= 10 .
The following figure represents a bicep curl maneuver where the center of mass (CoM) of a 23 kg dumbbell is 0.29 m from the elbow joint (pivot). The mass of the arm is 5 kg and acts 0.17 m from the elbow joint, and the biceps tendon acts at a distance of 0.01 m from the elbow joint. What is the required magnitude of the resultant joint reaction force (JRF) at the elbow in newtons (N) for the scenario described above in a) where static equilibrium is achieved.

. The forces exerted by the bicep muscle and acting on the elbow when a 12 kg barbell is being curledcan be modeled based on the diagram above. The bicep muscle can be treated as a vertical cable. Themass and length of the forearm are 2 kg and 32 cm, respectively. The center of mass of the forearm is adistance of 14 cm from the point P, while the bicep connects to the forearm at a point 4.5 cm from P.a) Determine the tension in bicep muscle and the force of the humerus acting downward on the elbowat point P. b) Assuming the tension in the bicep muscle continues to be oriented vertically, determinethe tension in the bicep muscle and the force acting at P after the barbell has been raised by an angleof 30 relative to the horizontal.
A meter stick is pivoted at its 50cm mark but does not balance because of non-uniformities in its material that cause its center of gravity to be displaced from its geometrical center. However, when weights of 150g and 300g are placed at the 10cm and 75cm marks, respectively, balance is obtained. The weights are then interchanged, and balance is again obtained by shifting the pivot point to the 43cm mark. Find the mass of the meter stick and the location of its center of gravity.

Assume a single 300-N force is exerted on a bicycle frame as shown in Figure OQ10.5.

Rank the torques A, B, C, D, and E from largest to smallest, noting that zero is greater than a negative quantity. If two torques are equal, note their equality in your ranking. Figure OQ10.5
