While assessing his workstation, you noted that from a sitting position (starting position: 90 deg flexion), the employee needs to exert a lot of effort to extend his right knee to 45 deg from the starting point. The length of the limb (from the tibial tuberosity to the heel area) is measured to be 38 cm. What now is the linear distance traveled by the limb from the initial position to 45 degrees of knee extension?arrow_forward
- A stainless steel medical grade (316LVM) bone plate implant carries a 70 kg load (see figure). The dimensions for the bone plate are given as L = 30 cm, a = 2cm, b = 5 cm. (You need to look up the medical steel 316LVM properties online in order to solve this). You are concerned that the implant's cross sectional area will increase and damage the surrounding tissue. Calculate the increase in cross-sectional area at the center of the implant, assuming the implant has uniform mass. The implant's Young's modulus is reported to be 105 MPa and its Poisson's ratio (v) is 0.36.arrow_forwardAnalyze a mechanical projects with several potential designs factors as structural integrity, minimal wear, inertia/momentum,Vibration, repair, and maintenance, cost, etcarrow_forwardPorosity is a measure of the void or empty spaces in a material and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume. The density of the solid material used to create 10 pieces of 1.05 cm diameter and 1.31 cm height cylindrical beads is determined to be 1.53 g/mL. These beads were then placed in a flask and was filled to the 36 mL mark with a salt solution. The total weight measured of the beads and the salt solution was 47.86 g. Upon further inspection, it was found that manufacturing defects caused the measured porosity of the beads to be at 29%. Assuming that the solution was able to fully fill the empty spaces inside the beads, calculate the density of the salt solution.
