If a person has a vertical force of 10.25N with a nylon strap of a 2.5cm of width and length of
10cm in the trapezius muscle, how much time does the person need to feel pain in the
muscle? How much time is needed to injure or damage the muscle? Must show every
mathematical process.
A scientist was investigating if differences in the frictional work performed on a model car can change
depending on its mass (in grams) and whether the car moves up or down an inclined plane. They decided to
measure the amount of frictional force experienced by the model car and the distance it traveled in meters.
The scientists were able to evaluate the frictional work using the following data.
Mass (g)
Distance (m) Force
Work Done by Friction (J)

It is known that the relationship between force and distance determines the work done by friction (W+).
W₁ = fd
Wf work done by friction
f = force
d = distance
Question:
How much work done by friction was exerted on the car as it moved down the inclined plane?

2b) Using the figure in 2a., calculate the external torque of the system relative to the normal
component of segment and load weights listed above.
2c) Calculate the amount of both the tangential component of the muscle force and the muscle force
itself required to keep this system in a state of static equilibrium.
