The diagram on the right shows a model of the leg, where the person's lower leg of length L = 0.60 m is held at an angle 0₁ = 60° with respect to the horizontal. The quadriceps muscle exerts a force FM via the tendon that attaches to the tibia at a distance d = 0.10 m from the knee, in order to lift a weight of mass m₁ = 5.91 kg that is attached to the foot. The tendon makes an angle of 0₂ = 11.5° with respect to the tibia. 2 What is the force required to hold the weight at the position shown in the diagram?

What is the magnitude, in newtons, of the force F⃗ 2 What is the magnitude, in newtons, of the force F⃗ 1?
Consider a horizontal forearm. On one end of the forearm is the elbow, and on the other end is the hand. The forearm has a mass of 5.00 kg. The distance from the elbow to the hand is 34 cm.

N (with the forearm in a horizontal position), what is the maximum mass (in kg) that the person can hold? (What equation can I use to solve this problem? Shouls I assume that the center of mass of the forearm to be midway/ in the middle between the elbow and the hand?)
Directions: Assume, unless otherwise specified, that all numbers have at least 3 significant figures. F (N) Students collect data, see graph, for the force involved in stretching a rubber band. The data is well fit by the equation F = 33.65 x0.4971, 12 10 where F is in newtons and x is in meters. One end of the rubber band is attached to a stationary vertical rod and the other end to a 0.3 kg mass. The mass rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The mass is pulled back such that the rubber band is stretched by 0.8 m from its unstretched length and then released from rest. 4. x (m) 0,1 0.02 0.04 0.06 0.08 A.

A uniform ladder stands on a rough floor and rests against a frictionless wall as shown in the figure. Since the floor is rough, it exerts both a normal force N1 and a frictional force f1 on the ladder. However, since the wall is frictionless, it exerts only a normal force N2 on the ladder. The ladder has a length of L = 4.4 m, a weight of WL = 53.5 N, and rests against the wall a distance d = 3.75 m above the floor. If a person with a mass of m = 90kg is standing on the ladder, determine the following. (a) the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is halfway up the ladder (Enter the magnitude only.) N1 = ? N N2 = ? N f1 = ? N (b) the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is three-fourths of the way up the ladder (Enter the magnitude only.) N1 = ? N N2 = ? N f1 = ? N

An athlete strengthens her leg and knee by doing "leg curls." While sitting on a bench with the leg initially bent at the knee, she supports a weight with the foot. She then slowly raises the foot and lower leg, with the upper leg held stationary. Find the tension in the quadriceps tendon for the position shown in the figure below. (Let w = 225 N, D = 44 cm and d = 5.5 cm.) please solve thank you

The length of his pole is 3.2 m, and he is holding it a distance 0.65 m from the end, where he is applying a downward force F1. Part (a) With how much force, F1, in newtons, does he have to push straight downward on the end of his pole to keep the pole from moving? You may assume the pole is massless.
