A 1 470-kg automobile has a wheel base (the distance between the axles) of 3.10 m. The automobile's center of mass is on the centerline at a point 1.00 m behind the front axle. Find the force exerted by the ground on each wheel. each front wheel: each rear wheel:
The wheels, axle, and handles of a wheelbarrow weigh W = 58 N. The load chamber and its contents weigh WL = 580 N. The drawing shows these two forces in two different wheelbarrow designs. To support the wheelbarrow in equilibrium, the man’s hands apply a force to the handles that is directed vertically upward. Consider a rotational axis at the point where the tire contacts the ground, directed perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Find the magnitude of the man’s force for both designs.
During a knee extension exercise there are two forces that are producing torque at the knee joint. One is the quadriceps muscle and the other is the weight at the ankle joint. The quad is capable of producing 500 Newtons of force, while the weight at the ankle is 10 kg. The distance from the knee joint to the quad force is 0.05 meters and the distance from the knee joint to the weight is 0.38 meters (these are not the moment arms). The knee is flexed to 125 degrees. Draw and calculate the moment arms for each force on the picture below and decide if the joint flexes or extends. this is for biomechancis
A woman is standing erect and with her elbow flexed 90°. She has an 80 N load in her hand and it has a 0.25 m lever arm to the elbow. Her biceps creates 800 N of force and it has a 0.02 m lever arm to the elbow. The type of contraction in the biceps is: Group of answer choices concentric isometric really big eccentric
In a two-pulley system, the centers of the pulleys are 20 inches apart. If the radius of each pulley measures 6 inches, how long is the belt used in the pulley system?
Jackson finds an old well with a rope, bucket, a shaft that spools the rope, and a large crank wheel that turns the shaft to bring up the bucket of water. The bucket and the water have a total mass of 10.33kg, the shaft has a diameter of 15cm, and the crank wheel has a radius of 0.625m. Ignoring the mass of the rope, use torque to find the tangential force on the crank wheel required to lift the bucket and the water at a constanst speed.
A crane has an arm length of 20 m inclined at 30deg with the vertical. It carries a container of mass of 1 ton suspended from the top end of the arm. Find the torque produced by the gravitational force on the container about the point where the arm is fixed to the crane. Given: 1 ton = 1000 kg; neglect the weight of the arm. Hint: take the force and perpendicular distance from the point where the arm is fixed to the crane. Note: Express your answer in whole number. No unit is required for the final answer. Set your calculator in radians.
The drawing shows a rectangular peice of wood. The forces applied to corners B and D have the same magnitude of 14 N and are directed parallel to the tlong and short sides of the rectangle. The long side of the rectangle is twice as long as the short side. An axis of rotation is shown perpendicular to the place of the rectangle at its center. A third force (not shown in the drawing) is applied to corner A, directed along the short side of the rectangle (either toward B or away from B), such that the piece of wood is at equillibrium. Find the magnitude and direction of the force applied to corner A.
