The chewing muscle,
the masseter, is one of the stron-
gest in the human body. It is
attached to the mandible (lower
jawbone) as shown in Figure P8.33a. The jawbone is pivoted
about a socket just in front of the auditory canal. The forces
acting on the jawbone are equivalent to those acting on the
curved bar in Figure P8.33b. F. is the force exerted by the
food being chewed against the jawbone, T is the force of ten-
sion in the masseter, and R is the force exerted by the socket
on the mandible. Find T and R for a person who bites down
on a piece of steak with a force of 50.0 N.

When a person stands on tiptoe (a strenuous position),
the position of the foot is as shown in Figure P8.24a. The total
gravitational force on the body, F, is supported by the force
n exerted by the floor on the toes of one foot. A mechanical
model of the situation is shown in Figure P8.24b, where T is
the force exerted by the Achilles tendon on the foot and R is
the force exerted by the tibia on the foot. Find the values of T,
R, and 0 when F, = n = 700. N.

and the elbow flexor muscles have a 3 cm moment arm. How much force must be exerted by the elbow flexor muscles to maintain this position?

- As a swimmer pulls his arm through the water, various muscles exert forces on the upper arm. The figure below shows a force F exerted on the humerus (upper arm bone) by the pectoral muscle. The muscle is connected to the bone d = 7.30 cm from the center point O of the shoulder joint.

In one study, they found that an important characteristic of a rope is its “compliance”— that is, how easily the rope, while under tension, can be flexed. As shown how scientists measured a rope’s compliance by attaching it to two strings, each supporting an identical mass m. The strings contort the rope so that its middle section lies at angle θ. For θ = 30° and m = 100 g, what are the tensions T1 and T2 in the upper and middle parts of the rope?arrow_forwardUnderstanding the details of timing and forces in motion can improve the performance of athletes, including dancers.
