Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 74PP
If the competitor leans slightly farther back (increasing the angle between his body and the vertical) but remains stationary in this new position, which statement is true? Assume that the rope remains horizontal.
- A. The difference between T1 and T2 increases, balancing the increased torque about his feet that his weight produces when he leans farther back
- B. The difference between T1 and T2 decreases, balancing the increased torque about his feet that his weight produces when he leans farther hack.
- C. Neither T1 nor T2 changes because no other forces are changing.
- D. Both T1 and T2 change, but the difference between them remains the same.

- BIO When a gymnast performing on the rings executes the iron cross, he maintains the position at rest shown in Figure P10.85a. 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 fore Fh on a hand as shown in Figure P10.85b. 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. (b) Suppose an athlete 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 athlete? Figure P10.85arrow_forwardSuppose you exert a force of 180 N tangential to a 0.280-m-radius 75.0-kg grindstone (a solid disk). (a)What torque is exerted?

Inertial parameters for a particular gymnast are as follows: Note that in Figure P8.l5a rcg is the distance to the center of gravity measured from the joint closest to the bar and the masses for the arms, thighs, and legs include both appendages. I is the moment of inertia of each segment about its center of gravity. Determine the distance from the bar to the center of gravity of the gymnast for the two positions shown in Figures P8.15b and P8.15c. Figure P8.15arrow_forward
