(I) Suppose the point of insertion of the biceps muscle into the lower arm shown in Fig. 9鈥13a (Example 9鈥8) is 6.0 cm instead of 5.0 cm; how much mass could the person hold with a muscle exertion of 450 N?

Short Answer

Expert verified

A mass of 7.01 kg can be held by the person with a muscle exertion of 450 N.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below as:

  • The force due to bicep muscle is\({F_{\rm{M}}} = 450{\rm{ N}}\).
  • The acceleration due to gravity is \(g = 9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\).
02

Understanding the forces acting on the forearm

The forces on the forearm act in the vertical direction. Take the torques about the elbow joint. The net torque in the counterclockwise direction is equal to net torque in the anti-clockwise direction.

The force is due to the combined mass of the forearm and the hand acting in the clockwise direction. The force is due to the ball's weight acting in the clockwise direction. The force is acting in the anti-clockwise direction due to the bicep muscle.

03

The representation of the forces on the forearm

The diagram of the forearm can be shown as:

Here, mg is the weight of the ball that the person holds in the hand,\({F_{\rm{J}}}\)is the force exerted by the bone at the joint of the elbow, m is the mass that the person holds in his hand, \({F_{\rm{M}}}\) is the force due to the bicep muscle, and CG is the center of gravity.

04

Determination of the mass that the person can hold with a muscle exertion of 450 N

At equilibrium, the net torques acting on the forearm about the joint of the elbow or the point at which\({F_{\rm{J}}}\)is acting becomes zero.

From the above figure, the net torque equation can be expressed as:

\(\begin{array}{c}\sum {{T_{net}}} = 0\\{F_{\rm{M}}} \times 6{\rm{ cm}}\left( {\frac{{1{\rm{ m}}}}{{100{\rm{ cm}}}}} \right) = 15{\rm{ cm}}\left( {\frac{{1{\rm{ m}}}}{{100{\rm{ cm}}}}} \right) \times {\rm{2 kg}} \times g + 35{\rm{ cm}}\left( {\frac{{1{\rm{ m}}}}{{100{\rm{ cm}}}}} \right) \times mg\\{F_{\rm{M}}} \times 0.060{\rm{ m}} = 0.15{\rm{ m}} \times {\rm{2 kg}} \times g + 0.35{\rm{ m}} \times mg\end{array}\)

Substitute the values in the above equation.

\(\begin{array}{c}450{\rm{ N}}\left( {\frac{{1{\rm{ kg}} \cdot {\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}}}{{1{\rm{ N}}}}} \right) \times 0.060{\rm{ m}} = 0.15{\rm{ m}} \times {\rm{2 kg}} \times 9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} + 0.35{\rm{ m}} \times m \times 9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\27{\rm{ kg}} \cdot {\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} = 2.943{\rm{ kg}} \cdot {\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} + 3.43m{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\{\rm{24}}{\rm{.057 kg}} \cdot {\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} = 3.43m{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\m = 7.01{\rm{ kg}}\end{array}\)

Thus, a mass of 7.01 kg can be held by the person with a muscle exertion of 450 N.

In a mountain-climbing technique called the 鈥淭yrolean traverse,鈥 a rope is anchored on both ends (to rocks or strong trees) across a deep chasm, and then a climber traverses the rope while attached by a sling as in Fig. 9鈥91. This technique generates tremendous forces in the rope and anchors, so a basic understanding of physics is crucial for safety. A typical climbing rope can undergo a tension force of perhaps 29 kN before breaking, and a 鈥渟afety factor鈥 of 10 is usually recommended. The length of rope used in the Tyrolean traverse must allow for some 鈥渟ag鈥 to remain in the recommended safety range. Consider a 75-kg climber at the center of a Tyrolean traverse, spanning a 25-m chasm. (a) To be within its recommended safety range, what minimum distance x must the rope sag? (b) If the Tyrolean traverse is set up incorrectly so that the rope sags by only one-fourth the distance found in (a), determine the tension in the rope. Ignore stretching of the rope. Will the rope break?
