The figure below shows the normal configuration of the head with proper posture. The center of mass for the weight of the skull is labeled W and the muscles that attach to the back of the skull are labeled M. Assume all quantities are correct to 2 significant figures. M W a) Determine the mechanical advantage of the skull muscles when d₁ = 14 mm and d₂ = 29 mm. Hint: Which force on the fulcrum (rotation point) is the effort, and which is the load? Enter to 2 significant figures Mechanical Advantage: b) Improper posture and positioning of the head can lead to muscle tension headaches. If the head begins to shift forward while studying or reading, the center of mass moves further from the fulcrum or pivot point. It is a subtle change, but the figure below shows the head shifted forward. The center of mass for the weight of the skull is labeled W and the muscles that attach to the back of the skull are labeled M. Determine the new mechanical advantage of the skull muscles when d₁ = 7 mm and d₂ = 22 mm. Submit answer in two significant digits. Observer how the value changes from the first scenario.

Question 3) The position of the head and neck and the forces acting on the head are shown in the figure. The center of gravity of the head of mass m=8 kg is located at point C. Neck muscle strength of FM=130 N, which makes an angle of γ=65° with the vertical from the B point to the skull, is affected by the neck extensor muscles. The center of the atlantooccipital joint is located at point B. For this flexion position of the head, the FJ joint reaction force, which makes an α angle with the horizontal from point A, acts. (Take the gravitational acceleration g as 9.81 m/s2). Accordingly; a) Calculate the angle α of the FJ joint reaction force with the horizontal. Response b) Calculate the FJ joint reaction force. (Write your result in N.) Answer
