While parking your car, you accidentally back into a steel post. Yon pull forward until the car no longer touches the post and then get out to inspect the damage. What does your rear bumper look like if the strain in the impact was (a) less than at the proportional limit; (b) greater than at the proportional limit but less than at the yield point; (c) greater than at the yield point but less than at the fracture point; and (d) greater than at the fracture point?

- The forearm shown below is positioned at an angle with respect to the upper arm , and a 5.0- kg mass is held in the hand. The total mass of the forearm and hand is 3.0 kg, and their center of mass is 15.0 cm from the elbow. (a) What is the magnitude of the force that the biceps muscle exerts on the forearm for =60 ? (b) What is the magnitude of the force on the elbow joint for the same angle? (c) How do these forces depend on the angle ?arrow_forwardAn aluminium (=2.7g/cm3) wire is suspended from the ceiling and hangs vertically.

A compressional force in excess of 6.8 × 10ª N will fracture this bone. (a) Find the maximum stress that this bone can withstand. (b) What is the strain that exists under a maxi- 78. mum-stress condition?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

In engineering, the modulus of elasticity Is a way to measure how much an object deforms along an axis when opposing forces are applied among that axis. The formula can be expressed as E = ddsof elasticity, F is the axial force, & is a cdeformation measure, L s the original length of the object, and A is the croSs-sectional area.
