Chapter 8, Problem 49GP
BIO Using triceps to push a table A man pushes on a table exerting a 20-N downward force with his hand. Determine the force that his triceps muscle must exert on his forearm in order to balance the upward force that the table exerts on his hand. Ignore the biceps muscle and the mass of the arm. If you did not ignore the mass of the arm, would the force you determined be smaller or larger? Explain.

- BIO When a gymnast performing on the rings executes the iron cross, he maintains the position at rest shown in Figure P10.85a. In this maneuver, the gymnasts feet (not shown) are off the floor. The primary muscles involved in supporting this position are the latissimus dorsi (lats) and the pectoralis major (pecs). One of the rings exerts an upward fore Fh on a hand as shown in Figure P10.85b. The force Fs is exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm. The latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major muscles exert a total force Fm on the arm. (a) Using the information in the figure, find the magnitude of the force Fm. (b) Suppose an athlete in training cannot perform the iron cross but can hold a position similar to the figure in which the arms make a 45 angle with the horizontal rather than being horizontal. Why is this position easier for the athlete? Figure P10.85arrow_forwardConstruct Your Own Problem Consider a method for measuring the mass of a person's arm in anatomical studies. The subject lies on her back, extends her relaxed arm to the side and two scales are placed below the arm. One is placed under the elbow and the other under the back of her hand. Construct a problem in which you calculate the mass of the arm and find its center of mass based on the scale readings and the distances of the scales from the shoulder joint. You must include a free body diagram of the arm to direct the analysis. Consider changing the position of the scale under the hand to provide more information, if needed. You may wish to consult references to obtain reasonable mass values.arrow_forwardTo determine the force a person's triceps muscle can exert, a doctor uses the procedure shown in the figure( Figure 1), where the patient pushes down with the palm of his hand on a force meter. 4 Figure FT Humerus -Triceps Axis Radius 2.78 cm -18.6 cm- Ulna Mgarrow_forward
