Chapter 9: Q5 CQ (page 314)

Mechanics sometimes put a length of pipe over the handle of a wrench when trying to remove a very tight bolt. How does this help? (It is also hazardous since it can break the bolt.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The mechanics attach an extra length of pipe over the handle of the wrench, to increase the torque on the bolt.

Step by step solution

01

Rotational motion

The rotational motion depends on the torque and the torque depends on the applied force and the perpendicular distance between the point of application of the force and the point of rotation.

02

The wrench torque

The torque for the wrench shown in the diagram is,

蟿=rFsin胃

Here, 胃is the angle between the force and the radius of rotation.

03

Explanation

If the length of pipe attached to the end of the wrench, the effective length that is the radius of rotation increases. Thus the same magnitude of force can provide a larger torque.

Hence, the mechanics attach an extra length of pipe over the handle of the wrench, to increase the torque on the bolt.

Explain the need for tall towers on a suspension bridge to ensure stable equilibrium.

Question: Even when the head is held erect, as inFigure 9.41, its center of mass is not directly over the principal point of support (the atlantooccipital joint). The muscles at the back of the neck should therefore exert a force to keep the head erect. That is why your head falls forward when you fall asleep in the class. (a) Calculate the force exerted by these muscles using the information in the figure. (b) What is the force exerted by the pivot on the head?

Question: (a) What force should the woman inFigure 9.45exert on the floor with each hand to do a push-up? Assume that she moves up at a constant speed. (b) The triceps muscle at the back of her upper arm has an effective lever arm of 1.75cm, and she exerts force on the floor at a horizontal distance of 20.0cm from the elbow joint. Calculate the magnitude of the force in each triceps muscle, and compare it to her weight. (c) How much work does she do if her center of mass rises 0.240m? (d) What is her useful power output if she does 25pushups in one minute?

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.

Question: A person working at a drafting board may hold her head as shown inFigure 9.40, requiring muscle action to support the head. The three major acting forces are shown. Calculate the direction and magnitude of the force supplied by the upper vertebrae Fvto hold the head stationary, assuming that this force acts along a line through the center of mass as do the weight and muscle force.
