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.

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?

Consider a method for measuring the mass of a person鈥檚 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.

If you used an ideal pulley of the type shown inFigure\({\rm{9}}{\rm{.26}}\)(a) to support a car engine of mass \({\rm{115}}\;{\rm{kg}}\), (a) What would be the tension in the rope? (b) What force must the ceiling supply, assuming you pull straight down on the rope? Neglect the pulley system鈥檚 mass.
