Question
FIGURE 1 shows a horizontal human arm lifting a dumbbell. The forearm is in equilibrium under the action of the weight W of the dumbbell, the tension T in the tendon connected to the biceps muscle, and the force E exerted on the forearm itself. (For clarity, the point A where the tendon is attached is drawn farther from the elbow than its actual position) Given the weight of the forearm is 20 N and the mass of the dumbbell is 20 kg. The angle between the tension force and the horizontal, ? is 80°. The length of the horizontal arm is 0.30 m. The horizontal distance between elbow pivot and point A is 0.050 m. Find T and the vector E and draw free body diagram for this case.

- A metal seat with mass m1 = 16 kg hangs from one end of a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley attached to the ceiling. A spring scale hangs from the other end of the rope. A girl with mass m2 = 34 kg sitting on the hung seat is pulling the spring scale. The total system is in static equilibrium state. Question:(1) how much does the scale reads(in Newton)? (2). what is the support force of the seat to the girl? (hint 1: write down all the forces exerted on the chair and on the girl separately and demand the net force for each is zero. hint 2: Newton’s third law says that if there is a force exerted on A by B, then there must be another force exerted on B by A with the same magnitude and in opposite direction)arrow_forwardThree main forces that act on the patella, and are shown on the diagram below. These forces are the quadriceps muscle force (FQ), the patella ligament force (FPL), and the patellofemoral joint reaction force (FPF). The angles a and ẞ are with respect to a line that is perpendicular to FPF. Assuming a = 10°, ẞ = 30°, and FQ = 4000 N, use the equations for static equilibrium to calculate the FPL in Newtons. Round to an integer, such there is no need for a decimal. FQ FPF FP Barrow_forwardA small box with a weight of 35.0 N is placed on top of a larger box that has a weight of 80.0 N. The system of two boxes is at rest on a horizontal surface (the larger box is in contact with the surface). You apply an additional downward force of 30.0 N to the top of the small box by resting your hand on it. For this problem, use g = 10 N/kg.
