Luc, who is 1.80 m tall and weighs 950 N, is standing at the center of a playground merry-go-round with his arms extended, holding a 4.0 kg dumbbell in each hand. The merry-go-round can be modeled as a 4.0-m-diameter disk with a weight of 1500 N. Luc's body can be modeled as a uniform 40-cm-diameter cylinder with massless arms extending to hands that are 85 cm from his center. The merry-go-round is coasting at a steady 35 rpm when Luc brings his hands in to his chest.
Afterward, what is the angular velocity, in rpm, of the merry-go-round?

- The Iron Cross When a gymnast weighing 750 N executes the iron cross as in Figure lN.91a, the primary muscles involved in supporting this position are the latissimus dorsi (lats") and the pectoralis major (pecs"). The rings exert an upward force on the aims and support the weight of the gymnast. The force exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm is labeled Fs, while the two muscles exert a total force Fw on the arm. Estimate the magnitude of the force Fw. Note that one ring supports half the weight of the gymnast, which is 375 N as indicated in Figure P8.91b. Assume that the force Fw acts at an angle of 45 below the horizontal at a distance of 4.0 cm from the shoulder joint In your estimate, take the distance from the shoulder joint to the hand to be L = 70 cm and ignore the weight of the arm.arrow_forwardTorque and the Two Conditions for Equilibrium 17.
