In an isometric exercise a person places a hand on a scale and pushes vertically downward, keeping the forearm horizontal. This is possible because the triceps muscle applies an upward force M perpendicular to the arm, as the drawing indicates. The forearm weighs 24.0 N and has a center of gravity as indicated. The scale registers 103 N. Determine the magnitude of M. N

The diagram of the leg shows the femur (1) and tibia (2). The quadriceps muscle (3) applies a force to the lower leg via a tendon (4) that is embedded with the kneecap (5). If the force applied by the muscle to the tendon
is F 570 N, what is the force of the femur on the kneecap, if the leg is in equilibrium? A simplified model of the leg is shown next to the diagram. The leg bones are represented by two beams attached by a pin. The
tendon is modelled by a rope and the kneecap acts like a pulley. The tendon above the kneecap makes an angle 8, = 38° with respect to the vertical, and the portion of the tendon below the kneecap makes an angle of 6₂
= 10° with respect to the vertical. Enter the x component, followed by the y component.

- At a museum, a 1300-kg model aircraft is hung from a lightweight beam of length 12.0 m that is free to pivot about its base and is supported by a massless cable (Fig. P14.38). Ignore the mass of the beam. a. What is the tension in the section of the cable between the beam and the wall? b. What are the horizontal and vertical forces that the pivot exerts on the beam? FIGURE P14.38 (a) From the free-body diagram, the angle that the string tension makes with the beam is = 55.0 + 18.0 = 73.0, and the perpendicular component of the string tension is FT sin73.0.

(b) What upward force should you exert to support the wheelbarrow and its load if their combined mass is 55.0 kg? (c) What force does the wheel exert on the ground? Figure 9.24 (a) In the case of the wheelbarrow, the output force or load is between the pivot and the input force. The pivot IS the wheel's axle. Here, the output force is greater than the input force. Thus, a wheelbarrow enables you to lift much heavier loads than you could with your body alone. (b) In the case of the shovel, the input force is between the pivot and the load, but the input lever arm is shorter than the output lever arm. The pivot is at the handle held by the right hand. Here, the output force (supporting the shovel's load) is less than the input force (from the hand nearest the load), because the Input is exerted closer to the pivot than is the outputarrow_forward
