Chapter 13, Problem 3IP
A 23-kg boy sits 1.5 m from the axis of rotation of a seesaw. At what distance from the axis of rotation must a 21-kg boy be positioned on the other side of the axis to balance the seesaw? (Answer: 1.6 m)

Rotate the ball horizontally on an 80 cm long non-stretchable cord with angular
velocity of 3 s^(-1). After ten seconds of clockwise rotation, the cord breaks. At what
speed and in what direction does the ball fly, if it was faced north at time t = Os?
Where and after how much time does the ball land on the ground that is 1 m below
the plaine in which we rotate the string? {Solution: v= (0.37 m/s,2.37 m/s); d=1.07 m,
t=0.447 s.) }
The adjacent diagram displays the joint reaction force between the acetabulum and femoral head for the right leg during single leg stance. Also shown are the abductor muscle force (AMF), the weight of the body above the level of the stance hip (W) and their corresponding moment arms with respect to the joint centre (D and D1). If the right leg weighs 1/6 of total body weight, the ratio of D1 to D is 2.4, and AMF is angled at 30 degrees relative to the vertical, calculate the:
Abductor muscle force (2 marks).
Hip joint reaction force (2 marks).
Express both answers as multiples of total body weight
The data was collected at 100 frames/second. Calculate the velocity and acceleration for each of the joints for the X(horizontal)coordinate. Also, graph the displacement of all three joints (ankle, knee and hip) for the Y (vertical) coordinate

These forces are the quadriceps muscle force (FQ), the patella ligament force (FPL), and the patellofemoral joint reaction force (FPF). The angles a and ẞ are with respect to a line that is perpendicular to FPF. Assuming a = 15°, ẞ = 20°, and FQ = 3725 N, use equations for static equilibrium to calculate (a) FPL, and (b) FPF. (Hint: To solve this problem consider using a coordinate system that is aligned with the principal axes of the patella instead of the usual vertical and horizontal axes). (c) Many people assume FQ and FPL are always equal in magnitude but this is only true under certain circumstances. Under what conditions are FQ and FPL equal in magnitude?
