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 space shuttle lands on a distant planet where the gravitational acceleration is 2.0 ( We do not know thelocal units of length and time , but they are consistent throughout the problem). The shuttle coasts along aleve, frictionless plane with a speed of 6.0. It then coasts up a frictionless ramp of height 5.0 and angle 0f 30°.After a brief ballistic flight, it lands a distance S from the ramp. Solve for S in local units of length. Assume theshuttle is small compared to the local length unit and that all atmospheric effects are negligible. Use x and y components.
The forces acting on the sailplane are its weight W = -500j (lb.) , the drag D = -200i + 100j (lb.), and the lift L. The sum of the forces W + L + D = 0. Determine the composnents and the magnitude of L.
