Question
Unlike most of the other muscles in our bodies, the masseter muscle in the jaw, as illustrated in the figure, is attached relatively far from the joint, enabling very large forces to be exerted by the back teeth. This is shown in the figure below, where a person is biting down on a bullet placed between the back teeth. (FM= 210 N and rR = 4.1 cm.)
(a) Using the information in the figure, calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by the teeth on the bullet.
(b) Calculate magnitude of the force on the joint.
(b) Calculate magnitude of the force on the joint.

- Q4.2. A springboard-type diving board is built from high grade aluminum. This particular board has a mass of 65 kg and is 3.85 m long. 33.8 cm wide, and 5 cm thick. (Aside: Most springboards start thick on one end, then get thinner as it moves to the other end. For this problem, assume the springboard has a constant thickness) One end of the springboard is attached to a hinge. The hinge lets the springboard move up and down, but keeps it from sliding out of place. 1.1 m away from the hinge, the springboard rests on (but is not attached to) a fulcrum. A diver with a mass of 65 kg stands on the far end of the springboard (opposite from the hinge), ready to begin their dive. Hinge Fulcrum Note: the measurements for this problem were taken from the springboards used in the 2016 Summer Olympics, 3 m Springboard event.arrow_forwardA speedboat with a mass of 505 kg (including the driver) is tethered to a fixed buoy by a strong 29.7 m cable. The boat's owner loves high speed, but does not really want to go anywhere. So the owner revs up the boat's engine, makes a lot of noise, and runs the boat in circles around the buoy with the cable supplying all the necessary centripetal force. When the tension of the cable is steady at 12300 N, with what force is the boat's engine pushing the boat? Different physics textbooks treat drag force somewhat differently and use different formulas. For the present purpose, take the water's drag force on the boat to be (450 kg/m) × v², where v denotes the boat's speed. Ignore any drag force on the cable. force: N & TOOLS x10arrow_forwardA block of mass mA=20kg on an inclined plane and a bucket of mass mbucket=16kg are attached to the ends of a massless string passing through a massless pulley as shown in the figure below. The inclined plane makes an angle of θ=46o with the horizontal and the coefficients of kinetic and static friction are μk=0.21 and μs=0.58. The system is initially at rest and a student starts to fill the bucket with balls, each of whose mass is 100 grams, one at a time until the system starts to move. Determine the number of balls the student placed in the bucket. Take g=9.80m/s2 and please note that the number balls must be an integer!arrow_forward
