CHAPTER-OPENING QUESTION—Guess now!

Which of the following best describes the difference between radio waves and X-rays?

(a) X-rays are radiation while radio waves are electromagnetic waves.

(b) Both can be thought of as electromagnetic waves. They differ only in wavelength and frequency.

(c) X-rays are pure energy. Radio waves are made of fields, not energy.

(d) Radio waves come from electric currents in an antenna. X-rays are not related to electric charge.

(e) The fact that X-rays can expose film, and radio waves cannot, means they are fundamentally different.

Can someone help me

Need help on the following questions on biomechanics. (Please refer to images below)A gymnast weighing 68 kg attempts a handstand using only one arm. He plants his handat an angle resulting in the reaction force shown.A) Find the resultant force (acting on the Center of Mass)B) Find the resultant moment (acting on the Center of Mass)C) Draw the resultant force and moment about the center of mass on the figure below. Will the gymnast rotate, translate, or both? And in which direction?

Please help me on the following question (Please refer to image below)An Olympic lifter (m = 103kg) is holding a lift with a mass of 350 kg. The barexerts a purely vertical force that is equally distributed between both hands. Each arm has amass of 9 kg, are 0.8m long and form a 40° angle with the horizontal. The CoM for each armis 0.5 m from hand. Assuming the lifter is facing us in the diagram below, his right deltoidinserts 14cm from the shoulder at an angle of 13° counter-clockwise from the humerus.A) You are interested in calculating the force in the right deltoid. Draw a free body diagramof the right arm including the external forces, joint reaction forces, a coordinate system andstate your assumptions.B) Find the force exerted by the right deltoidC) Find the shoulder joint contact force. Report your answer using the magnitude and directionof the shoulder force vector.
