### Educational Overview: Analyzing Lower Back Mechanics#### Diagram ExplanationThe diagram illustrates the forces and mechanics involved when an elderly man picks up a gift from beneath a tree. The man is bent over, holding a box, and several forces are acting on his body:- **F_MUSC**: Muscle force acting along the spine.- **F_COMP**: Compressive force acting parallel to the spine.- **F_A**: Resultant force at an angle alpha (α) to the horizontal.- **mg_BW**: Weight of the body acting downwards.- **mg_L**: Weight of the load (gift) being held.- **E**: Location of the muscle’s insertion.- **SHEAR**: Shear force acting at the lower back.- **a, b, h**: Geometric parameters representing moment arms and distances.Other annotations include the cutting plane, indicating the cross-section of interest, and horizontal reference lines for angle measurements.#### Problem ContextIn this scenario, the objective is to analyze the forces at play in the lower back using given parameters:1. **Draw a Free Body Diagram**: Illustrate and label all forces acting on the lower-back.2. **Calculate the Low Back Muscle Force**: Use the provided data to determine the required muscle force.#### Given Data- Alpha (α) = 45 degrees- Moment arm of back muscles (a) = 4 cm- Distance to body's center of gravity (b) = 18 cm- Height to load (h) = 34 cm- Mass of the load = 4 kg- Mass of the torso = 40 kg- Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²This problem requires understanding of biomechanics and physics, specifically in calculating moments and considering equilibrium to solve for the forces involved.

A person pushes a box along the ground. The box has the force diagram shown below. Examine the force diagram to answer the following questions: a. Is the box in equilibrium? If so explain how you can tell. If not, explain why not. b. If the person wants the box to move at constant velocity, should they adjust their pushing on the block? If so, explain how they should change their push. If not, explain why they should change nothing about their push
