Concept explainers

Center of Gravity of a system

The centre of gravity is a property that is based on the geometry of a rigid body or any particle. It is described as an equilibrium point or a hypothetical location where the total weight of the body is concentrated.

A person carries a plank of wood 2.00 m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force F1 and the other hand holding it up at .500 m from the end of the plank with force F2. If the plank has a mass of 20.0 kg and its center of gravity is at the middle of the plank, what are the magnitudes of the forces F1 and F2?
Torque and the Two Conditions for Equilibrium 17. The arm in Figure P8.17 weighs 41.5 N. The force of gravity acting on the arm acts through point A. Determine the magnitudes of the tension force Ft, in the deltoid muscle and the force Fs exerted by the shoulder on the humerus (upper-arm bone) to hold the arm in the position shown. Figure P8.17

A person who weighs 775 N supports himself on the ball of one foot. The normal force N = 775 N pushes up on the ball of the foot on one side of the ankle joint, while the Achilles tendon pulls up on the foot on the other side of the joint. The center of gravity of the person is located right above the tibia. What is the tension in the Achilles tendon? If the force acting is upward, enter a positive value and if the force acting is downward, enter a negative value.

The plank is a great way to strengthen abdominal, back, and shoulder muscles. You can also use this exercise position to locate your center of gravity. Holding plank position with a scale under his toes and another under his forearms, one athlete measured that 66.0% of his weight was supported by his forearms and 34.0% by his toes. (That is, the total normal forces on his forearms and toes were 0.660w and 0.340w, respectively, where w is the athlete’s weight.) He is 1.80 m tall, and in plank position the distance from his toes to the middle of his forearms is 1.53 m. How far from his toes is his center of gravity?

In the strict curl weightlifting event, a standing athlete lifts a barbell using only their lower arms, hinging at the elbow. The record weight is 900N. The biceps tendon connects 4.00cm from the elbow and pulls straight up, while the barbell is held 35.0cm from the elbow. Assume the weight of the forearm is negligible, and that each arm supports half the weight of the barbell. A) What is the tension in the tendon connecting the bicep to the forearm while held stationary in the position shown? B) What is the force (magnitude and direction) of the upp arm pushing on the forearm at the elbow joint?
