Concept Simulation 9.1 illustrates how the forces can vary in problems of this type. A hiker, who weighs 668 N, is strolling through the
woods and crosses a small horizontal bridge. The bridge is uniform, weighs 4590 N, and rests on two concrete supports, one on each
end. He stops 1/6 of the way along the bridge. What is the magnitude of the force that a concrete support exerts on the bridge (a) at
the near end and (b) at the far end?

- The following problem model your leg as a system of two beams attached to each other. In this model, your leg is extended. To keep your leg in that position, a force T is exerted in the tendon which must balance the force of gravity of your lower leg and the force of gravity on your foot. Find the necessary tension on the tendon to keep the leg extended when the tendon is at angle of 25° with the tibia. Assume the lower leg has a mass of 30,6 kg and the foot, a mass of 1,27 kg. The leg is extended at an angle of 40° with the vertical and the tension of the tendon is located at a point one fifth of the way down the leg. 25.0° Quadriceps - Tendon - Tibia Farrow_forwardShort Answer Question Suppose I install a shelf in my bedroom for my awesome CD collection.

Figure P8.66 shows typical numbers for the distance from the pivot to the muscle attachment point and the distance from the pivot to the center of gravity of the head. The muscles pull down to keep your head upright. If the muscle relaxes—if, for instance, you doze in one of your classes besides Physics—your head tips forward. In the questions that follow, assume that your head has a mass of 4.8 kg, and that you maintain the relative angle between your head and your spine. a. With the head held level, as shown, what muscle force is needed to keep a 4.8 kg head upright?b. If you tip your body forward so that your spine is level with the ground, what muscle force is needed to keep your head in the same orientation relative to the spine?c.
