Even when the head is held erect, as in Figure 9.41, its center of mass is not directly over the principal point of support (the atlanto-occipital joint). The muscles at the back of the neck should therefore exert a force to keep the head erect. That is why your head falls forward when you fall asleep in the class. (a) Calculate the force exerted by these muscles using the information in the figure. (b) What is the force exerted by the pivot on the head?
A person working at a drafting board may hold her head as shown in Figure 9.40, requiring muscle action to support the head. The three major acting forces are shown. Calculate the direction and magnitude of the force supplied by the upper vertebrae FV to hold the head stationary, assuming that this force acts along a line through the center of mass as do the weight and muscle force.
What is the mechanical advantage of a nail puller similar to the one shown in Figure 9.23 —where you exert a force 45 cm from the pivot and the nail is 1.8 cm on the other side? What minimum force must you exert to apply a force of 1250 N to the nail? Figure 9.23 A nail puller is a lever with a large mechanical advantage. The external forces on the nail puller are represented by solid arrows. The force that the nail puller applies to the nail ( Fo ) is not a force on the nail puller. The reaction force the nail exerts back on the puller ( Fn ) is an external force and is equal and opposite to Fo. The perpendicular lever arms of the input and output forces are li and l0
Suppose the weight of the drawbridge in Figure 9.34 is supported entirely by its hinges and the opposite shore, so that its cables are slack.

Suppose a 900-kg car is on the bridge in Figure 9.34 with its center of mass halfway between the hinges and the cable attachments. (The bridge is supported by the cables and hinges only.)

The two children are balanced on a seesaw of negligible mass. (This assumption is made to keep the example simple—more involved examples will follow.) The first child has a mass of 26.0 kg and sits 1.60 m from the pivot.(a) If the second child has a mass of 32.0 kg, how far is she from the pivot? (b) What is , the supporting force exerted by the pivot?
A 550 ?? drawbridge has a hinge at one end and a cable attached to the other. It is stuck in a positionwhere it makes an angle of 30° with the vertical. The cable pulling on the far end of the bridge is horizontal.Find the tension in the cable as well as the vertical and horizontal components of force from the hinge.Hint 1: Be careful with your ???? terms in this problem. Drawing a good picture should help.Hint 2: The length of the bridge will cancel out. Just use ?.
The large quadriceps muscle in the upper leg terminates at its lower end in a tendon attached to the upper end of the tibia (see Figure a). The forces on the lower leg when the leg is extended are modeled as in Figure b, where T is the force of tension in the tendon, w is the force of gravity acting on the lower leg, and F is the force of gravity acting on the foot. Find T when the tendon is at an angle of 25.0° with the tibia, assuming that w = 29.0 N, F = 12.3 N, and the leg is extended at an angle ? of 40.0° with the vertical. Assume that the center of gravity of the lower leg is at its center and that the tendon attaches to the lower leg at a point one-fifth of the way down the leg. (Give the magnitude.)
Three children are trying to balance on a seesaw. The seesaw is 4.1 m long and pivots about a rock at its center. Louie and Laura are already sitting on opposite ends. If Martha weighs 33 kg, where should she sit so as to balance the seesaw?
