Chapter 3, Problem 37E
The human forearm is a class III lever. Find the force the biceps muscle of an upper arm must develop to lift further a 5-kg dumbbell held in the hand of a person whose forearm is horizontal. How many pounds is this? Assume the force is exerted at a point 2.5 cm in front of the person’s elbow and that the hand is 32 cm in front of the elbow.

What is the magnitude of the force required to stretch a spring that has a constant of 425 N / m and 215 N / m by 7 cm if they are in parallel?
A person steps horizontally off the roof of a single-story house that is 3.1 m high. When his feet hit theground below, he bends his knees such that his torso decelerates over a distance of 0.65 m before coming to astop. If the mass of his torso is 50 kg, what is the average net force exerted on his torso over this distance?
A desperate hiker has to think fast to help his friend who has fallen below him. Quickly, he ties a rope to a rock of mA = 405 kg
and makes his way over the ledge (see the figure below). If the coefficient of static friction between the rock and the ground is
H=0.348, and the mass of the hiker is ma= 70.1 kg, what is the maximum mass of the friend, mc, that the rock can hold so the
hikers can then make their way up over the ledge? Assume the rope is parallel to the ground and the point where the rope
passes over the ledge is frictionless. (ANS: 70.8 kg)
