Most of the motion generated by joints in the human body are examples of levers. An example of a third class lever is the forearm; the force which generates the motion is located in-between the pivot point and the resistance force. The elbow acts as the pivot point, the biceps muscle pulls up on the forearm to move the mass which is held in the hand. Imagine someone is holding an object in her hand with her forearm horizontal and her upper arm vertical so her elbow creates a 90° angle. If her biceps attach to her forearm 0.0511 m from the elbow and make an angle of 26.0° with the vertical while a 2.76 kg mass is held in her hand 29.89 cm from the elbow, what force F is exerted by the biceps muscle? Ignore the mass of the forearm. F =

Students work together during an experiment about Newton’s laws. The students use a setup that consists of a cart of known mass connected to one end of a string that is looped over a pulley of negligible friction, with its other end connected to a hanging mass. The cart is initially at rest on a horizontal surface and rolls without slipping when released. The inertia of the cart's wheels is negligible. Students have access to common laboratory equipment to make measurements of components of the system. By collecting the appropriate data, the students can determine the relationship between the acceleration of the cart and the net force exerted on the cart. Which of the following graphs should the students produce to show the correct relationship? a A b C c D d B

In the figure below, two 8.00 kg blocks are connected by a massless string over a pulley of radius 2.90 cm and rotational inertia 8.00 x 10-4 kg • m2. The string does not slip on the pulley; it is not known whether there is friction between the table and the sliding block; the pulley's axis is frictionless. When this system is released from rest, the pulley turns through 0.150 rad in 60.0 ms, and the acceleration of the blocks is constant. T (a) What is the magnitude of the pulley's angular acceleration? rad/s2 (b) What is the magnitude of either block's acceleration? m/s2 (c) What is the string tension T1? N
