Chapter 5, Problem 1PQ
Why is it easier to lift a very large beach ball than a small lead ball?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Why it is easier to lift a very large beach ball than a small lead ball.
Answer to Problem 1PQ
As the mass of the beach ball is lesser than the mass of the lead ball, it feels easier to lift than the small lead ball.
Explanation of Solution
The density of the beach ball is lesser than the density of the lead ball; it means the mass of the beach ball is lesser compared with the mass of the lead ball. Hence, the very large beach ball weighs lesser than the small lead ball.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the beach ball is easier to lift than the small lead ball because its lower mass compared with the small lead ball.

The force of the quadriceps (Fq) and force of the patellar tendon (Fp) is identical (i.e., 1000 N each). In the figure below angle in blue is Θ and the in green is half Θ (i.e., Θ/2). A) Calculate the patellar reaction force (i.e., R resultant vector is the sum of the horizontal component of the quadriceps and patellar tendon force) at the following joint angles: you need to provide a diagram showing the vector and its components for each part. a1) Θ = 160 degrees, a2) Θ = 90 degrees. NOTE: USE ONLY TRIGNOMETRIC FUNCTIONS (SIN/TAN/COS, NO LAW OF COSINES, NO COMPLICATED ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS OR ANYTHING ELSE, ETC. Question A has 2 parts!
