You stepped on the edge of a bicycle wheel (radius 0.622 m) to make it slow down. If you pressed with your foot with a force of magnitude 10.0 N directed towards the center of the wheel, and the coefficient of friction between the wheel and your shoe is 0.462, what is the magnitude of the torque due to the friction?
The Achilles tendon inserts on the calcaneus (the heel bone) at a distance of 8 cm from the axis of the ankle joint. If the force generated by the muscles attached to the Achilles tendon is 3000 N, and the moment arm of this force about the ankle joint is 5 cm, what torque is created by these muscles about the ankle joint? Hopefully it’s enough torque to move out of the way so the arrow doesn’t shoot through the tendon.
A circular-shaped object of mass 9 kg has an inner radius of 7cm and an outer radius of 20 cm.
