The yoga exercise 鈥淒ownward-Facing Dog鈥 requires stretching your hands straight out above your head and bending down to lean against the floor. This exercise is performed by a 750-N person as shown in the fig. When he bends his body at the hip to aangle between his leg and trunk, his legs, trunk, head and arms have the dimensions indicated. Furthermore, his legs and feet weigh a total of 277 N, and their center of mass is 41 cm from his hip, measured along his legs. The person鈥檚 trunk, head and arms weigh 473 N, and their center of gravity is 65 cm from his hip, measured along the upper body.

  1. Find the normal force that the floor exerts on each foot and on each hand, assuming that the person does not favor either hand or either foot.
  2. Find the friction force on each foot and on each hand, assuming that it is the same on both feet and on both hands (but not necessarily the same on the feet as on the hands). [Hint: First treat his entire body as a system; then isolate his legs (or his upper body).]

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Normal force on each hand is 175 N, and normal force on each foot is 200 N
  2. Frictional force on each hand and each foot is 91 N.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Given that the yoga exercise 鈥淒ownward-Facing Dog鈥 requires stretching your hands straight out above your head and bending down to lean against the floor. This exercise is performed by a 750-N person as shown in the fig. When he bends his body at the hip to a angle between his leg and trunk, his legs, trunk, head and arms have the dimensions indicated. Furthermore, his legs and feet weigh a total of 277 N, and their center of mass is 41 cm from his hip, measured along his legs. The person鈥檚 trunk, head and arms weigh 473 N, and their center of gravity is 65 cm from his hip, measured along the upper body.

Weight of feet and legs w1=277N

Weight of trunk, wt=473N

Let nfand ffare the total normal and friction forces exerted on his feet and nhand fhare those forces on his hands.

Determine the angle as:

+=90=56.3=33.7

So x1=90cm肠辞蝉胃=50cm

And x2=135cmcos=112cm

02

Formula used

Consider the formula for the torque is

=FI

Here, Fis force exerted and l is moment arm.

03

Find normal force on each hand and each foot.(a)

Consider the following diagram:

According to condition of equilibrium with pivot at his feet.

Net torque is zero.

So

nh(162cm)(277N)(27.2cm)(473N)(103.8cm)=0nh=350N

Hence, there is normal force of at each hand.

Now,

So

Hence, there is normal force of 350N2=175Nat each foot.

Now, nf+nh-w1-wt=0

So

nf=w1+wtnh=750N350N=400N

Hence, there is normal force of400N2=200N at each foot.

04

Find friction force on each hand and foot(b)

Consider the formula for the free body diagram.

Applying the condition of equilibrium with pivot at his hip.

Net torque is zero.

So ff(74.9cm)+w1(22.8cm)nf(50cm)=0

On solving ff=(400N)(50cm)(277N)(22.8cm)74.9cm=182.7N

So there is frictional force of 91 N on each feet.

Also frictional force on feet and hands are same.

So frictional force on each hand is 91 N.

Question: How many nanoseconds does it take light to travel 1.00 ft in vacuum? (This result is a useful quantity to remember.)?

A helium filled balloon is tied to a light string inside a car at rest. The other end of the string is attached to the floor of the car, so the balloon pulls the string vertical. The car now accelerates forward. Does the balloon move? If so, does it move forward or backward? Justify your reasoning with references to buoyancy (if you have a chance, try this experiment yourself but with someone else driving !).

The human circulatory system is closed鈥攖hat is, the blood pumped out of the left ventricle of the heart into the arteries is constrained to a series of continuous, branching vessels as it passes through the capillaries and then into the veins as it returns to the heart. The blood in each of the heart鈥檚 four chambers comes briefly to rest before it is ejected by contraction of the heart muscle.

If the contraction of the left ventricle lasts 250ms and the speed of blood flow in the aorta (the large artery leaving the heart) is 0.80 m/s at the end of the contraction, what is the average acceleration of a red blood cell as it leaves the heart? (a) 310 m/s2; (b) 31 m/s2; (c) 3.2 m/s2; (d) 0.32 m/s2.

You are standing at rest at a bus stop. A bus moving at a constant speed of 5.00 m/spasses you. When the rear of the bus 12 m ispast you, you realize that it is your bus, so you start to run toward it with a constant acceleration of0.960m/s2. How far would you have to run before you catch up with the rear of the bus, and how fast must you be running then? Would an average college student be physically able to accomplish this?
