A relaxed biceps muscle requires a force of 25.0 N for an elongation of ; the same muscle under maximum tension requires a force of 500 N - for the same elongation. Find Young’s modulus for the muscle tissue under each of these conditions if the muscle is assumed to be a uniform cylinder with length 0.200 m and cross-sectional area 50.0 cm2.

Step by step solution

01

Given information:

ForceF=25N,ElongationΔl=3.0cm,lengthl0=0.2mandAreaA=50cm2

02

Concept/Formula used:

Y=l0FAΔl

Where, Y is Young’s modulus, I0 is length of muscle, F is muscle force, A is cross-sectional area and∆Iis elongation.

03

Young modulus for relaxed condition:

A=50cm2=50×10-4m2Y=0.2m25N50×10-4m23×10-2m=3.33×104Pa

04

Young modulus for maximum tension condition:

Y=0.2m500N50×10-4m23×10-2m=6.67×105Pa

Under maximum tension the muscle tissue is much more difficult to stretch.

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?

A ship leaves the island of Guam and sails 285 km at 62.0° north of west. In which direction must it now head and how far must it sail so that its resultant displacement will be 115 km directly east of Guam?

A particle of mass 3m is located 1.00 mfrom a particle of mass m.

(a) Where should you put a third mass M so that the net gravitational force on M due to the two masses is precisely zero?

(b) Is the equilibrium of M at this point stable or unstable (i) for points along the line connecting m and 3m, and (ii) for points along the line passing through M and perpendicular to the line connecting m and 3m?

Starting with the definition 1 in. = 2.54 cm, find the number of (a) kilometers in 1.00 mile and (b) feet in 1.00 km.

A plastic ball has radius 12.0 cm and floats in water with 24.0% of its volume submerged. (a) What force must you apply to the ball to hold it at rest totally below the surface of the water? (b) If you let go of the ball, what is its acceleration the instant you release it?
