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.

A lunar lander is makingits descent to Moon Base I (Fig. E2.40). The lander descendsslowly under the retro-thrust of its descent engine. The engine iscut off when the lander is 5.0 m above the surface and has a downwardspeed of 0.8m/s . With the engine off, the lander is in freefall. What is the speed of the lander just before it touches the surface?The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6m/s2.

In Wagner鈥檚 opera Das Rheingold,the goddess Freia is ransomed for a pile of gold just tall enough and wide enough to hide her from sight. Estimate the monetary value of this pile. The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3, and take its value to be about $10 per gram.

In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. Pluto already was known to have a large satellite Charon, orbiting at 19,600 km with an orbital period of 6.39 days. Assuming that the satellites do not affect each other, find the orbital periods of the two small satellites withoutusing the mass of Pluto.
