- When you carry shopping bags, rather than grasp the handles with your hand as in Q8.14a, you might choose to put them over your arm and slide the handle toward your elbow as in Q8.14b. Explain why this leads to less muscle effort to carry the bags and less force in your elbow joint.arrow_forwardThe main muscles that hold your head upright attach to your spine in back of the point where your head pivots on your neck. Figure P8.66 shows typical numbers for the distance from the pivot to the muscle attachment point and the distance from the pivot to the center of gravity of the head. The muscles pull down to keep your head upright. If the muscle relaxes—if, for instance, you doze in one of your classes besides Physics—your head tips forward. In the questions that follow, assume that your head has a mass of 4.8 kg, and that you maintain the relative angle between your head and your spine. a. With the head held level, as shown, what muscle force is needed to keep a 4.8 kg head upright?b. If you tip your body forward so that your spine is level with the ground, what muscle force is needed to keep your head in the same orientation relative to the spine?c. If you tip your body backward, you will reach a point where no muscle force is needed to keep your head upright.

- When you bend over, a series of large muscles, the erector spinae, pull on your spine to hold you up. Figure shows a simplified model of the spine as a rod of length L that pivots at its lower end. In this model, the center of gravity of the 320 N weight of the upper torso is at the center of the spine. The 160 N weight of the head and arms acts at the top of the spine. The erector spinae muscles are modeled as a single muscle that acts at an 12° angle to the spine. Suppose the person shown bends over to an angle of 30° from the horizontal. a. What is the tension in the erector muscle? Hint: Align your x-axis with the axis of the spine.b. A force from the pelvic girdle acts on the base of the spine. What is the component of this force in the direction of the spine?
