A good workout. You are doing exercises on a Nautilus machine in a gym to strengthen your deltoid (shoulder) muscles. Your arms are raised vertically and can pivot around the shoulder joint, and you grasp the cable of the machine in your hand 64.0 cm from your shoulder joint. The deltoid muscle is attached to the humerus 15.0 cm from the shoulder joint and makes a 12.0° angle with that bone. (See Figure 10.69.) If you have set the tension in the cable of the machine to 36.0 N on each arm, what is the tension in each deltoid muscle if you simply hold your outstretched arms in place? (Hint: Start by making a clear free-body diagram of your arm.)

- Find the net torque on the wheel in Figure P10.23 about the axle through O, taking a = 10.0 cm and b = 25.0 cm. Figure P10.23arrow_forwardUnlike most of the other muscles in our bodies, the masseter muscle in the jaw, as illustrated in the figure, is attached relatively far from the joint, enabling very large forces to be exerted by the back teeth. This is shown in the figure below, where a person is biting down on a bullet placed between the back teeth. (FM = 295 N and rR = 4.0 cm.)

- When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 39.5 N39.5 N and it is acting with an effective lever arm of 2.55 cm, what is the torque that the muscle produces on the wrist?arrow_forwardSituation 8. The 40lb door is supported by hinges at A and B. The y-axis is vertical. The hinges do not exert couples on the door, and 4 ft the hinge at B does not exert a force parallel to the hinge axis.

What are the reactions at A and B? 5 ft 1 ft| 40arrow_forwardA weightlifter is holding a 50.0-lb weight (equivalent to 222.4 N) with his forearm, as shown in (Figure). His forearm is positioned at β=60°β=60° with respect to his upper arm. The forearm is supported by a contraction of the biceps muscle, which causes a torque around the elbow. Assuming that the tension in the biceps acts along the vertical direction given by gravity, what tension must the muscle exert to hold the forearm at the position shown? What is the force on the elbow joint? Assume that the forearm’s weight is negligible. Give your final answers in SI units.arrow_forward
- As a swimmer pulls his arm through the water, various muscles exert forces on the upper arm. The figure below shows a force F exerted on the humerus (upper arm bone) by the pectoral muscle. The muscle is connected to the bone d = 7.10 cm from the center point O of the shoulder joint. Find the magnitude of F, if this force's torque on the arm provides half of the total torque balancing the torque produced by the water pushing against the hand.
