Question
Calculate the center of mass of the upper-arm and forearm of a 75 kg athlete using the appropriate anthropometric tables, when we know the position of Marker1 is (3.5,4.5), Marker 2 is (5,3), and Marker3 is (7,4). The upper arm is defined by markers Marker1 to Marker2, whereas the forearm is defined by markers Marke2 to Marker3.

- Determine the resultant force magnitude, direction, and its angle from the x-axis for force components F1 & F2, components F2 & F3, and components F3 & F4. NOTE: must be solved using the parallelogram method, not the rectangulararrow_forwardObjects with a uniform mass distribution and a symmetric shape have a center of mass at the center of the object. For non-uniform objects, the center of mass needs to be determined experimentally. To measure the center of mass of such an object, a pivot is placed in the middle of a board and the top of the non-uniform object is placed to the right of the pivot. When a uniform 10.0 kg mass has its center placed 60.0 cm to the left of the pivot the system balances perfectly (as shown below). The mass of the non-uniform object is measured with an electronic scale in the lab and found to beM = 39.8 kg .

Express your answer in terms of the given variables. What is the minimum force required to produce sliding? What is the minumum force required to produce tipping of the cube? Assume the cube is rotating about O. Impulsive horizontal loading L is applied on the edge B such that force F(t) is applied during the very short time delta t: where L= the integral from zero to delta t of F(t)dt.

- A meter stick has a mass of 0.30 kg and balances at its center. When a small chain is suspended from one end, the balance point moves 12.0 cm toward the end with the chain. Determine the mass of the chain. 0 x Determine a convenient place for the origin of the coordinate system. See if you can write an expression for the center of mass of the two objects in terms of known quantities and the mass of the chain and then solve for the mass of the chain. g Submit Answerarrow_forwardPlease Asaparrow_forwardTo keep the calculations fairly simple, but still reasonable, we shall model a human leg that is 92.0 cm long (measured from the hip joint) by assuming that the upper leg and the lower leg (which includes the foot) have equal lengths and that each of them is uniform. For a 70.0 kg person, the mass of the upper leg is 8.60 kg, while that of the lower leg (including the foot) is 5.25 kg. Find the location of the center of mass of this leg, relative to the hip joint, if it is (a) fully extended, and (b) bent at the knee to form a right angle with the upper leg.arrow_forward
