BIO Deltoid Muscle A crossing guard holds a STOP sign at arm’s length, as shown in Figure 11-63. Her arm is horizontal, and we assume that the deltoid muscle is the only muscle supporting her arm The weight of her upper arm is Wu = 18 N, the weight of her lower arm is W1 = 11 N, the weight of her hand is Wh = 4.0 N, and the weight of the sign is Ws = 8.9 N. The location where each of these forces acts on the arm is indicated in the figure A force of magnitude fd is exerted on the humerus by the deltoid, and the shoulder joint exerts a force on the humerus with horizontal and vertical components given by fx and fy respectively. (a) Is the magnitude of fx greater than less than or equal to the magnitude offx? Explain. Find (b) fd, (c) fx and (d) fy (The weights in Figure 11-63 are drawn to scale; the unknown forces are to be determined. If a force is found to be negative, its direction is opposite to that shown )

- A flexible chain weighing 40.0 N hangs between two hooks located at the same height (Fig. P12.9). At each hook, the tangent to the chain makes an angle = 42.0 with the horizontal. Find (a) the magnitude of the force each hook exerts on the chain and (b) the tension in the chain at its midpoint. Suggestion: For part (b), make a force diagram for half of the chain. Figure P12.9arrow_forwarda) What is the mechanical advantage of a wheelbarrow, such as the one in Figure 9.24, if the center of gravity of the wheelbarrow and its load has a perpendicular lever arm of 5.50 cm, while the hands have a perpendicular lever arm of 1.02 m? (b) What upward force should you exert to support the wheelbarrow and its load if their combined mass is 55.0 kg? (c) What force does the wheel exert on the ground? Figure 9.24 (a) In the case of the wheelbarrow, the output force or load is between the pivot and the input force. The pivot IS the wheel's axle. Here, the output force is greater than the input force. Thus, a wheelbarrow enables you to lift much heavier loads than you could with your body alone. (b) In the case of the shovel, the input force is between the pivot and the load, but the input lever arm is shorter than the output lever arm. The pivot is at the handle held by the right hand. Here, the output force (supporting the shovel's load) is less than the input force (from the hand nearest the load), because the Input is exerted closer to the pivot than is the outputarrow_forwardA massless, horizontal beam of length L and a massless rope support a sign of mass m (Fig. P14.78). a.

The diagram of the leg shows the femur (1) and tibia (2). The quadriceps muscle (3) applies a force to the lower leg via a tendon (4) that is embedded with the kneecap (5). If the force applied by the muscle to the tendon is F 570 N, what is the force of the femur on the kneecap, if the leg is in equilibrium? A simplified model of the leg is shown next to the diagram. The leg bones are represented by two beams attached by a pin. The tendon is modelled by a rope and the kneecap acts like a pulley. The tendon above the kneecap makes an angle 8, = 38° with respect to the vertical, and the portion of the tendon below the kneecap makes an angle of 6₂ = 10° with respect to the vertical. Enter the x component, followed by the y component. Answer 1 of 2: Answer 2 of 2: Submit All Answersarrow_forward
- In exercise physiology studies, it is sometimes important to determine the location of a person's center of gravity. This can be done with the arrangement shown in the figure below. 2.00 m Fg2 g1 A light plank rests on two scales that read F = 390 N and F g1 = 300 N. The scales are separated by a distance of 2.00 m. How far from the woman's feet is her center of g2 gravity? 1.08 Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. marrow_forwardIn the figure below, the biceps muscle exerts force supporting a perpendicular forearm and a book, Suppose we replace the book with an elastic exercise rope that obeys Hooke's Law.
