Question
The chin-up is one exercise that can be used to strengthen the biceps muscle. This muscle can exert a force of approximately 800 N as it contracts a distance of 7.5 cm in a 75-kg male. 3 How much work can the biceps muscles (one in each arm) perform in a single contraction? Compare this amount of work with the energy required to lift a 75-kg person 40 cm in performing a chin-up. Do you think the biceps muscle is the only muscle involved in performing a chin-up?

- You push on a box of 10?? with a force F = (20i −10j )N. It moves on a rough surface (uc=0.1) over 2m. Calculated... 1- the normal force module that acts on the body2- the work done by the force you exert3- the work done by the weight of the crate4- the work done by the force of frictionarrow_forwardQ1arrow_forwardIn the Figure below, we see a 500 gram block resting on the horizontal portion of a "track", whose left end is curved upwards. The horizontal portion of the track is frictionless, except for a 50.0 cm long “rough" portion, shown in the Figure, where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.300. The curved portion of the track is frictionless. The block is held against a spring (which has a stiffness constant of 500 N/m), compressing the spring by 10.0 cm. Then the block is released from rest. (NOTE: The block is not attached to the spring; it is just held against the end of the spring.) For simplicity, assume that g = 9.80 m/2. 50.0 cmarrow_forward
