A good workout. You are doing exercises on a Nautilus machine in a gym to strengthen your deltoid (shoulder) muscles. Your arms are raised vertically and can pivot around the shoulder joint, and you grasp the cable of the machine in your hand 64.0 cm from your shoulder joint. The deltoid muscle is attached to the humerus 15.0 cm from the shoulder joint and makes a 12.0° angle with that bone. (See Figure 10.69.) If you have set the tension in the cable of the machine to 36.0 N on each arm, what is the tension in each deltoid muscle if you simply hold your outstretched arms in place? (Hint: Start by making a clear free-body diagram of your arm.)

The COM of the forearm is located at a distance of 15 cm from the joint center at the elbow, and the elbow flexor muscles have a 3 cm moment arm. How much force must be exerted by the elbow flexor muscles to maintain this position?

The CG of the forearm and hand is located at a distance of 12.5 cm from the joint center at the elbow, and the elbow flexor muscles attach at an average distance of 2.5 cm from the joint center. (Assume that the muscles attach at an angle of 35° to the forearm bones.) How much force must be exerted by the forearm flexors to maintain this position?arrow_forward
- It's exciting watching the construction and renovation happening in Uptown Columbus! On one construction site, you notice that a uniform beam of length 13.6 m and mass 47.9 kg is attached to a wall by a cable. The angle between the cable and the beam is 59.5°. The beam is free to pivot about the point where it attaches to the wall. What is the tension in the cable, if the beam is not moving? Your Answer: Answerarrow_forwardWhen a gymnast weighing 740 N executes the iron cross as in figure (a), the primary muscles involved in supporting this position are the latissimus dorsi ("lats") and the pectoralis major ("pecs"). The rings exert an upward force on the arms and support the weight of the gymnast. The force exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm is labeled Fs while the two muscles exert a total force Fm on the arm. Determine the magnitude of the force Fm. Note that one ring supports half the weight of the gymnast, which is w = 370 N as indicated in figure (b). Assume that the force Fm acts at an angle of 45° below the horizontal at a distance of 4.0 cm from the shoulder joint. In your estimate, take the distance from the shoulder joint to the hand to be L = 71 cm and ignore the weight of the arm.arrow_forwardUnlike most of the other muscles in our bodies, the masseter muscle in the jaw, as illustrated in the figure, is attached relatively far from the joint, enabling very large forces to be exerted by the back teeth. This is shown in the figure below, where a person is biting down on a bullet placed between the back teeth. (FM= 210 N and rR = 4.1 cm.) (a) Using the information in the figure, calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by the teeth on the bullet. (b) Calculate magnitude of the force on the joint.arrow_forward

The masseter muscle is responsible for pulling the mandible upward when you are talking or eating. It is attached at a horizontal distance of about 2.60 cm from the TMJ. The horizontal distance from the TMJ to your incisors is 6.60 cm. If the masseter muscle exerts a force of 208 N on your mandible when you bite into an apple at a constant rate, then what is the magnitude of the force exerted by your incisors on your food, assuming that both forces are vertical?arrow_forward6 What must be m so the horizontal beam will balance?
