*67. A gymnast does a one-arm handstand. The humerus, which is the upper arm bone (between the elbow and the shoulder joint), may be approximated as a 0.30-m-long cylinder with an outer radius of 1.00 × 10-²m and a hollow inner core with a radius of 4.0 × 10-³m. Exclud- ing the arm, the mass of the gymnast is 63 kg. (a) What is the compressional strain of the humerus? (b) By how much is the humerus compressed?

Hint The wheels of a wagon can be approximated as the combination of a thin outer hoop, of radius r = 0.262 m and mass 4.32 kg, and two thin crossed rods of mass 8.66 kg each.A farmer would like to replace his wheels with uniform disks ta = 0.0588 m thick, made out of a material with a density of 8290 kg per cubic meter.

Among the elderly population, a sideway fall is a most frequent cause of hip fracture. An old man of mass 65 kg and height 1.7m was sent to Prince of Wales Hospital due to sideway fall. He slipped and fell laterally down with a straight body. Before falling, his centre of mass was 0.9 m above ground. His centre of mass was on the ground at the end of the fall. The radius of gyration about the anterior-posterior axis at his centre of mass was 0.55 m. (a) Calculate the initial potential energy before his fall. (b) Assuming his potential energy would be converted to linear kinetic energy of his centre of mass and rotational kinetic energy about his centre of mass, calculate the impact velocity v of his centre of mas right before he hit the ground.

Three blocks - A, B, and C-are connected by massless ropes that move over frictionless pulleys without slipping as shown in the figure; the mass of block A is 1 kg, the mass of block B is 2 kg, and the mass of block Cis 4 kg. Each pulley can be modeled as a uniformly dense solid cylinder with a radius of 4 cm and a mass of 3 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block B and the horizontal surface is 0.30. What is the magnitude of the tension (in N) in the rope between block A and the pulley nearest it? C 2.352

Ryan is attempting to curl a 25-kg dumbbell. He manages to get his forearm to a horizontal position, temporarily holding the dumbbell stationary. The forearm is 30 cm in length and has a mass of 4.0 kg. [Consider the forearm to have uniform mass distribution.] The distal biceps tendon is attached to the radius (one of the two bones of the forearm) 5.5 cm from the elbow. Ryan applies maximum force in an attempt to complete the curl, but his tendon ruptures (i.e., tension goes to zero). What is the total moment of inertia about the elbow (after the rupture)?
