- You hold a 1.80-N softball in your hand as shown in the figure. Consider your forearm and hand to be a uniform rod with a mass of 1.25 kg and the distance between the elbow joint and the ball in your hand is 2L = 31.5 cm. Your biceps exerts an upward force of 14.5 N on the forearm and is attached at a distance of d = 2.20 cm from the elbow. (a) Using the elbow joint as the axis of rotation, determine the magnitude of the net torque acting about the elbow due to the forearm, hand, and ball.arrow_forwardTwo people carry a heavy electric motor by placing it on a light board 2.10 mm long. One person lifts at one end with a force of 450 NN, and the other lifts the opposite end with a force of 570 NN. What is the weight of the motor? Express your answer in newtons. Where along the board is its center of gravity located? Express your answer in meters. Suppose the board is not light but weighs 190 NN, with its center of gravity at its center, and the two people each exert the same forces as before. What is the weight of the motor in this case? Express your answer in newtons. Where is its center of gravity located?

- A man is holding a 2.80-kg ball, as shown in the figure. The distance from the elbow joint to the ball is d= 32.5 cm, and the distance from the elbow joint to the insertion of the triceps muscle is d= 2.50cm. The mass of the lower arm, including the hand, is 3.60 kg, and its center of gravity is at a distance d= 13.6cm from the elbow joint. a)Draw a free body diagram of the forearm. b)What is the magnitude of the force FM, exerted by the triceps? c)What is the force exerted by the humerus on the elbow joint?arrow_forwardA jet transport has a weight of 2.14 x 106 N and is at rest on the runway.

- To develop muscle tone, a woman lifts a 2.00-kg weight held in her hand. She uses her biceps muscle to flex the lower arm through an angle of 60.0°. (a) What is the angular acceleration if the weight is 24.0 cm from the elbow joint, her forearm has a moment of inertia of 0.250 kg and the net force she exerts is 750 N at an effective perpendicular lever arm of 2.00 cm? (b) How much work does she do? m²arrow_forwardRyan is attempting to curl a 25-kg dumbbell. He manages to get his forearm to a horizontal position, temporarily holding the dumbbell stationary. The forearm is 30 cm in length and has a mass of 4.0 kg. [Consider the forearm to have uniform mass distribution.] The distal biceps tendon is attached to the radius (one of the two bones of the forearm) 5.5 cm from the elbow. Ryan applies maximum force in an attempt to complete the curl, but his tendon ruptures (i.e., tension goes to zero). What is the total moment of inertia about the elbow (after the rupture)? Select one: a. 0.12 kg∙m2. b. 2.25 kg∙m2. c. 2.37 kg∙m2. d. 2.28 kg∙m2.arrow_forwardA telephone pole has been knocked over by the wind so that it makes an angle of theta= 15 degrees with the vertical. The wind has stopped blowing and the pole is to be cut down. Once the cut is across most of the thickness of the pole, the pole begins to tip over. As the pole tips, the bottom of the pole stays attached to the base by the remaining part of the pole that was not cut (but the torque from the base on the tipping pole is negligible). There is a nail (of negligible mass) on the pole located a distance x = 47 m from the cut. The length of the pole from the cut to the top is L=69m. Remember that the moment of inertia of a stick of mass m and length L about its end is (13)mL2. If theta= 67.5 degrees, what is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the nail?arrow_forward
