4. Orin and Ann, two paramedics, rush a 60.0 kg man from the scene of an accident to a waiting ambulance, carrying him on a uniform 3.00 kg stretcher held by the ends. The stretcher is 2.60 m long and the man’s center of mass is 1.00 m from Ann. How much force must Orin and Ann each exert to keep the man horizontal? a. Orin = 230 N, Ann = 388 N b. Orin = 201 N, Ann = 411 N c. Orin = 241 N, Ann = 377 N d. Orin = 141 N, Ann = 477 N e. None of the above
It is sometimes important to determine the location of a person’s center of gravity(which coincides with the center of mass because the gravitational force is uniform at the scale of the human body). This can be done with the arrangement shown intheFigure below. A light (negligible mass) plank rests on two scales that read Fg1=380 N and Fg2=320 N. The scales are separated by a distance of 2.00 m. How far from the woman’s feet is her center of gravity?

Problem 5: Fr Fm Bone -Muscle 100 30 cm W 4 cm 40 cm A simplified model of a human arm holding a weight is shown on the right. The length of the forearm is 40 cm and it has a mass of 1.7 kg. The bicep muscle is attached 4 cm in from the elbow joint and makes an angle of 73° with the forearm. The weight in the person's hand has a mass of 5 kg. a) What is the magnitude of the force provided by the bicep muscle needed to keep their arm at rest? b) What is the magnitude and direction of the force acting at the elbow (F;) in that same case?
