Chapter 9: Q 34PE (page 319)

Question: A father lifts his child as shown inFigure. What force should the upper leg muscle exert to lift the child at a constant speed?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The total force exerted by the upper leg muscle is 2254N.

Step by step solution

01

Define the force

A force is an external factor that can change the rest or motion of a body. It has a size and a general direction.

02

Free-body diagram

The diagram for the leg muscles is shown below:

03

Calculation of the force on the upper leg muscle

The net torque about the pivot point which is knee, is zero in equilibrium. We can write

FQ脳2=wleg脳20+wchild脳38

Here, the weight of the child is,

wchild=10脳9.8=98N

The weight of the leg is,

FQ脳2=39.2脳20+98脳38FQ=39.2脳20+98脳382FQ=2254N

Hence, the force is 2254N.

A \({\rm{17}}{\rm{.0}}\;{\rm{m}}\)high and \({\rm{11}}{\rm{.0}}\;{\rm{m}}\)long wall under construction and its bracing are shown in Figure \({\rm{9}}{\rm{.32}}\). The wall is in stable equilibrium without the bracing but can pivot at its base. Calculate the force exerted by each of the 10 braces if a strong wind exerts a horizontal force of \({\rm{650}}\;{\rm{N}}\)on each square meter of the wall. Assume that the net force from the wind acts at a height halfway up the wall and that all braces exert equal forces parallel to their lengths. Neglect the thickness of the wall.

Explain why the forces in our joints are several times larger than the forces we exert on the outside world with our limbs. Can these forces be even greater than muscle forces (see previous Question)?

Suppose the biceps muscle was attached through tendons to the upper arm close to the elbow and the forearm near the wrist. What would be the advantages and disadvantages of this type of construction for the motion of the arm?

Swimmers and athletes during competition need to go through certain postures at the beginning of the race. Consider the balance of the person and why start-offs are so important for races.

A wrecking ball is being used to knock down a building. One tall unsupported concrete wall remains standing. If the wrecking ball hits the wall near the top, is the wall more likely to fall over by rotating at its base or by falling straight down? Explain your answer. How is it most likely to fall if it is struck with the same force at its base? Note that this depends on how firmly the wall is attached at its base.
