The chin-up is one exercise that can be used to strengthen the biceps muscle. This muscle can exert a force of approximately 8.00 102 N as it contracts a distance of 7.5 cm in a 75-kg male.3 (a) How much work can the biceps muscles (one in each arm) perform in a single contraction? (b) Compare this amount of work with the energy required to lift a 75-kg person 40. cm in performing a chin-up. (c) Do you think the biceps muscle is the only muscle involved in performing a chin-up?
(a) What is the average useful power output of a person who does 6.00106 J of useful work in 8.00 h? (b) Working at this rate, how long will it take this person to lift 2000 kg of bricks 1.50 m to a platform? (Work done to lift his body can be omitted because it is not considered useful output here.)
A student expends 7.5 W of power in lifting a textbook 0.50 m in 1.0 s with a constant velocity. (a) How much work is done, and (b) how much does the book weigh (in newtons)? The answers to Confidence Exercises may be found at the back of the book.
The force acting on a particle is Fx = (8x 16), where F is in newtons anti x is in meters. (a) Make a plot of this force versus x from x = 0 to x = 3.00 m. (b) From your graph, find the net work done by this force on the particle as it moves from x = 0 to x = 3.00 m.
