- If, when bent over, the hands are at a horizontal distance of 76.0 cm from the sacrum and the back muscles are at a horizontal distance of 44.0 cm from the sacrum and act at a 12.0° angle above the horizontal, what is the component of the force exerted by the back muscle that compresses the spine?arrow_forwardThe forearm shown below is positioned at an angle with respect to the upper arm, and a 5.6 kg mass is held in the hand. The total mass of the forearm and hand is 2.1 kg, and their center of mass is 16.1 cm from the elbow. (Assume the biceps muscle exerts a force on the forearm that acts vertically.) 5.6 kg B 37.5 cm 4.0 cm (a) What is the magnitude of the force (in N) that the biceps muscle exerts on the forearm for 0-60%7 N (b) What is the magnitude of the force on the elbow joint (in N) for the same angle? N (c) How do these forces depend on the angle 07 The force that the biceps muscle exerts increases and the force on the elbow joint decreases as increases. They both decrease as @ increases. They both increase as increases. They do not depend on 0. The force that the biceps muscle exerts decreases and the force on the elbow joint increases as increases.arrow_forwardFIGURE 1 shows a horizontal human arm lifting a dumbbell. The forearm is in equilibrium under the action of the weight W of the dumbbell, the tension T in the tendon connected to the biceps muscle, and the force E exerted on the forearm itself. (For clarity, the point A where the tendon is attached is drawn farther from the elbow than its actual position) Given the weight of the forearm is 20 N and the mass of the dumbbell is 20 kg. The angle between the tension force and the horizontal, ? is 80°. The length of the horizontal arm is 0.30 m. The horizontal distance between elbow pivot and point A is 0.050 m. Find T and the vector E and draw free body diagram for this case.arrow_forward

- The mandible (lower jaw) is attached to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The masseter muscle is responsible for pulling the mandible upward when you are talking or eating. It is attached at a horizontal distance of about 2.40 cm from the TMJ. The horizontal distance from the TMJ to your incisors is 6.60 cm. If the masseter muscle exerts a force of 198 N on your mandible when you bite into an apple at a constant rate, then what is the magnitude of the force exerted by your incisors on your food, assuming that both forces are vertical?arrow_forwardThe large quadriceps muscle in the upper leg terminates at its lower end in a tendon attached to the upper end of the tibia (see Figure a). The forces on the lower leg when the leg is extended are modeled as in Figure b, where T is the force of tension in the tendon, w is the force of gravity acting on the lower leg, and F is the force of gravity acting on the foot. Find T when the tendon is at an angle of 25.0° with the tibia, assuming that w = 29.O N, F = 12.3 N, and the leg is extended at an angle 6 of 40.0° with the vertical. Assume that the center of gravity of the lower leg is at its center and that the tendon attaches to the lower leg at a point one-fifth of the way down the leg. (Give the magnitude.)
