When a gymnast performing on the rings executes the iron cross, he maintains the position at rest shown in figure (a). In this maneuver, the gymnast’s feet are off the floor. The primary muscles involved in supporting this position are the latissimus dorsi (“lats”) and the pectoralis major (“pecs”). One of the rings exerts an upward force Fh on a hand as shown in figure (b). The force Fs is exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm. The lats and pecs major muscles exert a total force Fm on the arm. Using the information in the figure, find the magnitude of the force Fm for an athlete of weight 750 N. Hint Fh = 750/2 N.
During most of the stance phase of the gait, the knee flexion is less than 20º. What force must the quadriceps muscle apply to maintain this flexion while standing on one leg? The patient's weight is 836N, assuming that the distance from the center of the joint to the line of gravity is 5 cm and the distance perpendicular to the center of the joint towards which the muscle acts is 5 cm, and the muscle acts ( pull) at 60º to the horizontal.
A person bending forward to lift a load "with his back" (Figure a) rather than "with his knees" can be injured by large forces exerted on the muscles and vertebrae. The spine pivots mainly at the fifth lumbar vertebra, with the principal supporting force provided by the erector spinalis muscle in the back. To see the magnitude of the forces involved, and to understand why back problems are common among humans, consider the model shown in Figure b, of a person bending forward to lift a Wo = 195-N object. The spine and upper body are represented as a uniform horizontal rod of weight W₁ = 305 N pivoted at the base of the spine. The erector spinalis muscle, attached at a point two-thirds of the way up the spine, maintains the position of the back. The angle between the spine and this muscle is 12.0⁰.
