Chapter 3, Problem 64P
In traction. When a large bone such as the femur is broken, the two pieces are often pulled out of alignment by the complicated combination of tension and compression forces that arise from the muscles and tendons in the leg (see the X-ray image in Fig. P3.64A). To realign the bones and allow proper healing, these forces must be compensated for. A method called traction is often employed. If a total tension force of 400 N is applied to the leg as depicted in Figure P3.64B to realign the parts of the femur, how much mass m must be attached to the bottom pulley?

A bicep muscle shown in Fig. P2.3 can apply a force F measured in Newtons (N) as a function of the elbow angle ϕ, measured in degrees as described by the quadratic equation F(ϕ) = 6ϕ − 0.04ϕ2.
For a bicep force of F = 200 N, solve the equation for ϕ by each of the following methods: factoring, completing the square, and the quadratic formula.
Using your solution from part (a), determine the elbow angle ϕ where the force exerted by the bicep is maximum. In addition, calculate the maximum force Fmax.
Plot F versus ϕ and clearly indicate the maximum force on the graph. Also clearly label the x-intercepts on the graph.

A champion dart thrower has decided that he could easily win a spear fishing contest. Unfortunately, he does not know about Snell's Law and loses miserably. The spear is thrown from a height h = 0.90 meters above the surface of the water. The spear strikes the top surface of the water at a distance of L = 3.71 meters from the edge. The fish is swimming a distance x = 1.96 meters to the right of the place where the spear hits the water. The index of refraction of the salt water is n = 1.38.Determine the angle ? = degreesDetermine the angle ? = degreesDetermine the depth at which the fish is swimming d = metersWhich of the following statements is true?
The figure is correct, the fish swims below the spear.The figure is incorrect, the fish swims above the spear.
NOTE: Use the water index of refraction as specified in the text, not one from memory.

You and your team get a distress call from another ship indicating that there has been an explosion and their propulsion and navigation systems are now off line. A large piece of their ship has been jettisoned into space, and their life support systems are failing. They need help as soon as possible. You try to track them, but are only able to pick up the piece of the craft that had been projected away from them in the explosion. You look up the make and model of their ship, a Galaxy Explorer 5000 (GE 5000), which has a total mass of 51000 kg. The piece heading in your direction is the ship's storage module, and has a mass of 8500 kg. The GE 5000 was at rest with respect to your ship at the time of the explosion.

- You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics, you ask one of the archers to shoot an arrow parallel to the ground. Unfortunately the archer stands on an elevated platform of unknown height. However, you find the arrow stuck in the ground 58.0 m away, making a 3.00 angle with the ground Part A How fast was the arrow shot? Hint: In this question, you do not need to know the initial y-position of the arrow, nor should you assume a value. . The final direction of the arrow indicates the ratio of the v_y/v_x. So tan(final_angle with respect to the x-axis)= v_y/v_x but neither v_y, nor v_x are known. Since the arrow initially was fired horizontally, it only has an x component of velocity at first, and since there is no acceleration in x, v_x final= v_x initial. So you only need to find v_x final to get the initial velocity. You need another equation that relates v_y and v_x. Well, v_y -gt and you can get t…arrow_forwardWHICH ANSWER IS CORRECT?
