In exercise physiology studies, it is sometimes important to determine the location of a person's center of gravity. This can be done with the arrangement shown in the figure below. 2.00 m Fg1 Fg2 A light plank rests on two scales that read F gravity? = 390 N and F. 92 = 300 N. The scales are separated by a distance of 2.00 m. How far from the woman's feet is her center of 1.08 Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. m

When a circus performer performing on the rings executes the iron cross, he maintains the position at rest shown in Figure P12.37a. In this maneuver, the gymnasts feet (not shown) are off the floor. The primary muscles involved in supporting this position are the latissimus dorsi (lats) and the pectoralis major (pecs). One of the rings exerts an upward force Fk on a hand as show n in Figure P12.37b. The force Fs, is exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm. The latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major muscles exert a total force Fm on the arm. (a) Using the information in the figure, find the magnitude of the force Fm for an athlete of weight 750 N. (b) Suppose a performer in training cannot perform the iron cross but can hold a position similar to the figure in which the arms make a 45 angle with the horizontal rather than being horizontal. Why is this position easier for the performer? Figure P12.37

A 6-m-high, 5-m-wide rectangular plate blocks the end of a 5-m-deep freshwater channel, The plate is hinged about a horizontal axis along its upper edge through a point A and is restrained from opening by a fixed ridge at point B. Determine the force exerted on the plate by the ridge.
A 0.3-in-diameter horizontal water jet with a speed of 24 ft/s strikes a stationary symmetrical splitter. The cross- sectional area at the outlets is half of that inlet. Disregarding gravitational effects, determine the x-and y- components of the force required to hold the splitter in place against the water force. The water jet before and after the split is exposed to atmospheric conditions. 45 45 Splitter
One end of a vertical metallic wire of length 2.8 m and diameter 2.0 mm is attached to a ceiling, and the other end is attached to a 5.0 N weight pan, as shown below. REFER TO PICTURES FOR THE QUESTION. I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ONE PART.
Please help! Required Info: The leg bone (femur) breaks under a compressive force of about 8.20 x 104 N for a human and 11.4 x 104 N for a horse. The human femur has a compressive strength of 160 MPa, whereas the horse femur has a compressive strength of 140 MPa. a) What is the effective cross-sectional area of the femur in a human? (Note: Since the center of the femur contains bone marrow, which has essentially no compressive strength, the effective cross-sectional area is about 80% of the total cross-sectional area.) b) What is the effective cross-sectional area of the femur in a horse? (Note: Since the center of the femur contains bone marrow, which has essentially no compressive strength, the effective cross-sectional area is about 80% of the total cross-sectional area.) Thank you:)
An amusement park ride consists of airplane-shaped cars attached to steel rods. Each rod has a length of 15 m and a cross-sectional area of 8.00 cm?. Take Young's modulus for steel to be Y = 2.0 x 1011 Pa. a. How much is the rod stretched (change in AL)when the ride is at rest? Assume that each car with two people seated in it has a total weight of 1900 N. b. When the ride is operating, it has a maximum angular speed of w = 8.0 rev/min. How much is the rod stretched then?
The Achilles tendon connects the muscles in your calf to the back of your foot. When you are sprinting, your Achilles tendon alternately stretches, as you bring your weight down onto your forward foot, and contracts to push you off the ground. A 70 kg runner has an Achilles tendon that is 15 cm long with a typical 1.1 x 10-4 m2 area.a. By how much will the runner’s Achilles tendon stretch if the maximum force on it is 8.0 times his weight, a typical value while running?b. What fraction of the tendon’s length does this correspond to?
A 10 000-N shark is supported by a rope attached to a 4.00-m rod that can pivot at the base.
