When you bend over, a series of large muscles, the erector spinae, pull on your spine to hold you up. (Figure 1) shows a simplified model of the spine as a rod of length L that pivots at its lower end. In this model, the center of gravity of the 320 N weight of the upper torso is at the center of the spine. The 160 N weight of the head and arms acts at the top of the spine. The erector spinae muscles are modeled as a single muscle that acts at an 12° angle to the spine. Suppose the person in (Figure 1) bends over to an angle of 30° from the horizontal.

Q2: Man A weighs 150 N and man B weighs 200 N. They desire to find the weight and position of the centre of the gravity of heavy bar 16 m long. They put a fulcrum under the bar, and when the man B stands on one end and the fulcrum is 7.5 m from him, the bar is balanced in a horizontal position. When man A stands on the same end, the fulcrum is 8 m from him for balance. Draw the two diagrams required and calculate a) the weight of the bar and b) the postion of its center of gravity.
