Concept explainers
Figure 12.17a shows an outstretched arm with mass 4.2 kg. The arm is 56 cm long, and its center of gravity is 21 cm from the shoulder. The hand at the end of the arm holds a 6.0-kg mass. (a) Find the torque about the shoulder due to the weight of the arm and the 6.0-kg mass, (b) If the arm is held in equilibrium by the deltoid muscle, whose force on the arm acts below the horizontal at a point 18 cm from the shoulder joint (Fig. 12.17b), what’s the force exerted by the muscle?

The proton is positively charged, the electron negatively, but both with the same magnitude of charge given by e=1.602x10-19C. The mass of an electron is 9.11x10-31kg, and the proton is 1.67x10-27kg. Find the ratio of the electrostatic to the gravitational force of attraction between the electron and the proton in hydrogen. \arrow_forward
