A 72.0-kg weightlifter doing arm raises holds a 7.50-kg weight. Her arm pivots around the elbow joint, starting below the horizontal. Biometric measurements have shown that, together, the forearms and the hands account for 6.00% of a person鈥檚 weight. Since the upper arm is held vertically, the biceps muscle always acts vertically and is attached to the bones of the forearm 5.50 cm from the elbow joint. The center of mass of this person鈥檚 forearm-hand combination is 16.0 cm from the elbow joint, along the bones of the forearm, and she holds the weight 38.0 cm from her elbow joint.

  1. Draw a free-body diagram of the forearm.
  2. What force does biceps muscle exert on the forearm?
  3. Find the magnitude and direction of the force that the elbow joint exerts on the forearm.
  4. As the weightlifter raises her arm toward a horizontal position, will the force in the biceps muscle increase, decrease, or stay the same? Why?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The diagram is drawn.
  2. Biceps exerts a force of 569 N on forearms
  3. Elbow joint exerts a force of 474 N on forearm downwards.
  4. Force stays the same.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

Given that a 72.0-kg weightlifter doing arm raises holds a 7.50-kg weight. Her arm pivots around the elbow joint, starting 40.0below the horizontal. Biometric measurements have shown that, together, the forearms and the hands account for 6.00% of a person鈥檚 weight. Since the upper arm is held vertically, the biceps muscle always acts vertically and is attached to the bones of the forearm 5.50 cm from the elbow joint. The center of mass of this person鈥檚 forearm-hand combination is 16.0 cm from the elbow joint, along the bones of the forearm, and she holds the weight 38.0 cm from her elbow joint.

Mass of weightlifter, mw=72kg

Mass held in each forarm marm=120.0672kg=2.16kg

The weight held in each arm, w = mg where m = 7.50kg

Let T is the force exerted by biceps on forearms

E is the force exerted by the elbow and has vertical and horizontal components Evand Eh.

02

Formula used

Torque =FI

Where Fis force exerted and l is distance.

03

(a)Step 3: Draw the free body diagram

The free body diagram is as follows:

04

(b)Step 4: Find force exerted by biceps on forearms

Applying condition of equilibrium,

Net torque is zero.

=0

This gives,

T5.5cm肠辞蝉胃-marm16cm肠辞蝉胃=0T=16marmg+38w5.5cmT=162.16kg9.8m/s2+387.5kg9.8m/s25.5cmT=569N

Hence biceps exerts a force of 569 N on forearms

05

(c)Step 5: Find force exerted by elbow on forearms

Components of net force are zero as the arm is at rest.

This impliesFx andFy are zero.

Fx=0implies Eh=0

Fy=0implies T-Ev-Warm-W=0

This implies

Ev=T-warm-w=569N-2.16kg9.8m/s2-7.5kg9.8m/s2=474N

Hence elbow exerts a force of 474 N on forearms in downwards direction

06

(d)Step 5: Find change in force on raising the arm

The weight and the pull of the biceps are both always vertical in this situation, so the factor divides out of the=0 equation in part (b). Therefore, the force stays the same on raising the arm.

A rather ordinary middle-aged man is in the hospitalfor a routine checkup. The nurse writes 鈥200鈥 on the patient鈥檚medical chart but forgets to include the units. Which of these quantities could the 200 plausibly represent? The patient鈥檚 (a) mass in kilograms; (b) height in meters; (c) height in centimeters;(d) height in millimeters; (e) age in months

Equation (12.7) shows that an area ratio of 100 to 1 can give 100

Starting from the front door of a ranch house, you walk 60.0 m due east to a windmill, turn around, and then slowly walk 40.0 m west to a bench, where you sit and watch the sunrise. It takes you 28.0 s to walk from the house to the windmill and then 36.0 s to walk from the windmill to the bench. For the entire trip from the front door to the bench, what are your (a) average velocity and (b) average speed?

A car and a truck start from rest at the same instant, with the car initially at some distance behind the truck. The truck has a constant acceleration of20m/s2, and the car has an acceleration of3.40m/s2. The car overtakes the truck after the truck has moved60.0m. (a) How much time does it take the car to overtake the truck? (b) How far was the car behind the truck initially? (c) What is the speed of each when they are abreast? (d) On a single graph, sketch the position of each vehicle as a function of time. Takex=0at the initial location of the truck.
