During a step, the force on the hip joint is approximately 2.5 times the weight of the person taking the step. For a single step, the joint slides approximately 30 mm inside the socket. The coefficient of kinetic friction for synovial fluid that lubricates the joint is 0.003. 3. If there is no synovial fluid, the coefficient of kinetic friction associated with the joint is 0.3. For this case, and for a 60 kg person, what is the absolute value of the work spent during a single step?

You are part of a team in an engineering class that is working on a scale model of a new design for a life vest. You have been asked to find the mass of a piece of foam that will be used for flotation. Because the piece is too bulky to fit on your balance, you break it into two parts. You measure the mass of the first part as 128.3 0.3 g and the second part as 77.0 0.3 g. a. What are the maximum and minimum values for the total mass you might reasonably report? b. What is the best estimate for the total mass of the foam? Hint: Propagation of uncertainty is described in Appendix A.

Unfortunately, one person got infected by V. vulnificus after eating some oysters. We want to estimate how much power a bacteria needs in order to move inside a capillary. The Reynolds number in a capillary is about 0.001, which means that blood's flow in a capillary is well approximated by Stokes flow model. In the following questions, assume that the bacteria is a sphere with an effective radius 0.55 μm (although the shape of V. vulnificus is more like a comma) moving at a speed of 200.0 μm/s relative to the blood flow. For simplicity, the dynamical viscosity, µ, is set to 0.030 kg/m/s3. Give the result consistent with the significant digits in the data. That is, with two significant digits. (a) Find the drag force that the bacteria experiences in the capillary. (b) Find the power that the bacteria needs to produce in order to move at that speed with respect to the blood flow. Hint: remember that power can be written as P = Fv. (c) Assuming that a mole of glucose can produce 380 kcal…
Starting from rest, a 0.0463 kg steel ball sinks into a vat of corn syrup. The thick syrup exerts a viscous drag force that is proportional to the ball's velocity. ?⃗ drag=−??⃗ where ?=0.292 N⋅s/m is a constant related to the size and composition of the ball as well as the viscosity of the syrup. Find the rate at which gravitational energy is converted to thermal energy once the ball reaches terminal velocity. P

An 0.90-m-diameter, 1.1-m-high garbage can is found in the morning tipped over due to high winds during the night. Assuming the average density of the garbage inside to be 150 kg/m3 and taking the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3, estimate the wind velocity during the night when the can was tipped over. Take the drag coefficient of the can to be 0.7.
