- If the fibers of a pennate muscle are oriented at a 43° angle to a central tendon, howmuch tension is produced in the tendon when the muscle fibers contract with 1600 N offorce?arrow_forwardThe triceps muscle at the back of her upper arm has an effective lever arm of 1.75 cm, and she exerts force on the floor at a horizontal distance of 20.0 cm from the elbow joint. Calculate the magnitude of the force in each triceps muscle, and compare it to her weight.arrow_forwardWhen picking up an object from the ground, it is generally recommended that you "lift with your legs" - that is, raise and lower yourself by bending your knees but keeping your upper body upright. If instead, you "lift with your back" by bending at the hip so that your upper body is angled, then you put a great deal more stress on your spine and back muscles. Consider a person who is "lifting with their back" such that they are bent at the hip with their upper body is parallel to the ground (i.e., their spine is oriented horizontally). Let us calculate the tension in the back muscles and the compression on the spine in this situation. We will model the spine and upper body as a horizontal rigid rod or uniform density with a length of 50.0 cm and a mass of 40.0 kg. Assume that the person attempts to lift an object with their arms, which we will model as attached at the far end of the rod. Support of the back in this position is provided primarily by the erector spinalis muscle which we…arrow_forward
