Basic Terminology in Mechanics

The area of science and mathematics concerned the motion of the objects, the relation between the force matter, and motion if specified. Forces exerted over the objects result in displacements or changes in the position of an object concerning its environment. This branch of physics keeps its roots in Ancient Greece in the form of the scripts of Aristotle and Archimedes.

Trina is a gym goer with a leg length of 84 cm. Suppose that she is in the gym doing straight legraising with 10 lb weights. Compute for the force that the muscle should exert in order to (1) maintain it in the position and(2) lift the weight up given that the distance of the effort (muscle) from the joint is 54 cm,distance of the weight is 80 cm, and the COM is 45 cm from the joint. ANSWER THE QUESTION: 1.) Assuming that the leg moves at 0. 9 seconds, compute for the angular velocity. GIVEN: Leg length = 84 cm = 0.84 m Distance of the muscle from the joint = 54 cm = 0.54 m Distance of the weight = 80 cm = 0.80 m Distance of the COM from the joint = 45 cm = 0.45 m Mass = 10 lb = 4.535 kg Linear displacement x = 38.971 cm Or x = 0.389 m
A passenger is standing on a scale in an elevator. The building has a height of 500 feet, the passenger has a mass of 80 kg, and the scale has a mass of 7 kg. The scale sits on the floor of the elevator. (It is an Otis elevator, so we will label it as "O" so as not to confuse its forces with those caused by the earth.) You may take g = 10 N/kg. For doing this problem it might be useful to start by drawing free-body diagrams for the passenger and the scale.Consider the vertical forces acting on the passenger and the scale WE→P: The force of the earth pulling down on the passenger (weight). WE→S: The force of the earth pulling down on the scale (weight). NP→S: The force of the passenger pushing down on the scale (normal). NS→P: The force of the scale pushing up on the passenger (normal). NO→S: The force of the elevator pushing up on the scale (normal). NO→P: The force of the elevator pushing up on the passenger (normal) a) While it is accelerating downward, which of the forces in your…
Yvonne is pulling on the doorknob of her dorm door to keep it closed while Joyce is pulling from the other side to try to get into the room. The doorknob is 0.7 m from the hinge of the door. Yvonne is using a force of 75 N exerted at an angle of 75° to the door. What force does Joyce need to use to open the door if she is exerting force at an 85° angle to the door? (use methods discussed during this unit in our class).
