The calf muscle pulls on the foot at point A, which is rotating around point B where the foot contacts the lower leg bones. We want to compute the pulling force FA of the calf muscle necessary for the person to stand on tiptoe as well as the force FB on the lower leg bones from the foot. For simplicity we will assume that the points A, B and C lie on a single line as shown on the simplified diagram on the right. Assume distance dAB = 5.00 cm, distance dBC = 15.0 cm, the angle between the floor and the foot is 0 = 10.0°, and the person's mass m = 80.0 kg. We will neglect the weight of the foot. a) Draw a diagram showing the forces acting on the foot. (1 point) b) Assuming rotational equilibrium compute the calf…arrow_forward3.

Point A is located on the rim of the wheel and point B is halfway between the rim and the axis. Which one of the following statements concerning this situation is true? A B Both points have the same centripetal acceleration. b. Both points have the same tangential acceleration. The angular velocity at point A is greater than that of point B. d.

Two hoops, starting from rest, roll down identical inclined planes. The work done by nonconservative forces, such as air resistance, is zero (Wnc = 0 J). Both have the same mass M, but, as the drawing shows, one hoop has twice the radius as the other. The moment of inertia for each hoop is I = Mr², where r is its radius. Which, if either, has the greater total kinetic energy (translational plus rotational) at the bottom of the incline? Radius=R Mass = M Radius=R Mass = Marrow_forward5. A uniform disk, a thin hoop, and a uniform solid sphere, all with the same mass and same outer radius, are each free to rotate about a fixed axis through its center. Assume the hoop is connected to the rotation axis by light spokes. With the objects starting from rest, identical forces are simultaneously applied to the rims, as shown.
