During most of the stance phase of the gait, the knee flexion is less than 20º. What force must the quadriceps muscle apply to maintain this flexion while standing on one leg? The patient's weight is 836N, assuming that the distance from the center of the joint to the line of gravity is 5 cm and the distance perpendicular to the center of the joint towards which the muscle acts is 5 cm, and the muscle acts ( pull) at 60º to the horizontal.
'A model for the elbow joint models the bicep muscle connecting to the horizontal forearm by a vertical tendon 4cm from the elbow joint. A mass m is held in the hand 30cm from the elbow joint. If the maximum tension that can be exerted by the tendon before injury occurs is 2250N, find the maximum mass that can be held in this way.' Im stuck on this question
5. (A). A simple turnbuckle arrangement is constructed from a 40 mm outside diameter tube threaded internally at each end to take two rods of 25 mm outside diameter with threaded ends. What will be the nominal stresses set up in the tube and the rods, ignoring thread depth, when the turnbuckle cames an axial load of 30 kN? Assuming a sufficient strength of thread, what maximum load can be transmitted by the turnbuckle if the maximum stress is limited to 180 MN/m? [39.2, 61.1 MN/m2, 88.4 kN] 6. (A). A bar ABCD consists of three sections: AB is 25 mm square and 50 mm long, BC is of 20 mm diameter and40 mm long and CD is of 12 mm diameter and 50 mm long. Determine the stress set up in each section of the bar when it is subjected to an axial tensile load of 20 kN. What will be the total extension of the bar under this load? For the bar material, E = 210GN/m?. [32.63.7, 176.8 MN/m²_ 0.062mm]
(5) We typically place our arms out for when we are crossing a narrow beam/rope. Is it because: (a) The larger leg muscles are unable to be used so we use the arms for leverage to bring our line of gravity back inside base of support; (b) To make our body area wider so the base of support is wider and line of gravity falls within it; (c) To make our body area wider so center of gravity naturally becomes lower and the body is more stable; (d) To utilize force summation to use larger muscles to bring us back into balance
During a circus act, one performer swings upside down hanging from a trapeze holding another, also upside-down, performer by the legs. If the upward force on the lower performer is three times her weight, how much (in m) do the bones (the femurs) in her upper legs stretch? You may assume each is equivalent to a uniform rod 40.0 cm long and 1.74 cm in radius. Her mass is 65.0 kg.

3) To strengthen his arm and chest muscles, a 6-slug athlete who is 6'6" tall is doing push-ups as shown in the figure below. His centre of mass is 3'9" from the bottom of his feet, and the centres of his palms are one foot from the top of his head. Find the force that the floor exerts on each of his feet and on each hand, assuming that both feet exert the same force and both palms do likewise. Begin with a free-body diagram of the athlete. 6'6" K–1'-
A hand exerts a force of 25 lbs on a scale at 16 inches from the joint center at the elbow. If the triceps attach to the ulna at a 90° angle and at a distance of 2.5 cm from the elbow joint center, and if the weight of the forearm and hand is 12 lbs with the hand/forearm CG located 15 cm from the elbow joint center, how much force is being exerted by the triceps? 880 1488 N 8800 O 15.640 N Onone of the answers are correct
