A persons head is bent over her book. The head weighs P=37.2 N and is supported by the muscle force F m exerted by the neck extensor muscles and by the contact force F c exerted at the atlantooccipital joint. Given that the magnitude of F m is 60.0 N and is directed 35.0 degree below the horizontal.
Find the magnitude of the contact force F c.
Introduction:
Physics plays a crucial role in day to day life. Every action in nature is the result of laws of physics. Physics is the language to understand the nature. Various forms of energy can convert into the most usable form. Work done by the human body results into the movements of the different body parts. The direction of each body part can be considered as a vector in the plane.

- You are working in an ice skating rink and have been asked to hang a new banner on the wall. Your friend is helping you so that the ladder does not collapse by exerting a force F_AL at an angle ϕ relative to the horizontal. The ladder has a length L and makes an angle of θ with respect to the vertical wall. You have a mass, m_Y, and are a horizontal distance x from the wall. The ladder has a mass of m_L. Because the wall is slick, and the ice on the floor is slick, the frictional forces acting on the ladder are negligible. Find a formula for the magnitude of the force that your friend must exert to keep the ladder from falling, in terms of the following variables: x,L,m_Y,m_L,θ,ϕ. Then use the following values to get a number for the magnitude of F_AL. θ = 30.3 degrees ϕ = 23.028 degrees x = 1.491 meters L = 7.1 meters m_Y = 86.0 kg m_L = 42.14 kg Find the magnitudes of: F_AL, normal force of the wall on the ladder (N_WL), and normal force of the floor on the ladder (N_FL).arrow_forwardA rigid, vertical rod with a mass of 2.7 kg simply rests on the floor and is held in place by static friction.
