Chapter 5, Problem 7P
|| BIO Muscles and tendons. Muscles are attached to bones by means of tendons. The maximum force that a muscle can exert is directly proportional to its cross-sectional area A at the widest point. We can express this relationship mathematically as Fmax = σA, where σ (sigma) is a proportionality constant. Surprisingly, σ is about the same for the muscles of all animals and has the numerical value of 3.0 × 105 in SI units. The gastrocnemius muscle, in the back of the leg, has two portions, known as the medial and lateral heads. Assume that they attach to the Achilles tendon as shown in Figure 5.41 The cross-sectional area of each of these two muscles is typically [&30 cm2 for many adults. What is the maximum tension they can produce in the Achilles tendon?

applied to corners B and D have the same magnitude of 12 N and are
directed parallel to the long and short sides of the rectangle. The long
side of the rectangle is twice as long as the short side. An axis of ro-
tation is shown perpendicular to the plane
of the rectangle at its center. A third force
(not shown in the drawing) is applied to cor-
ner A, directed along the short side of the
rectangle (either toward B or away from B),
such that the piece of wood is at equilib-
rium. Find the magnitude and direction of

- 2. Bones and Muscles. A patient in therapy has a forearm that weighs -20.5Nj and that lifts a -112.0Nj weight. These two forces have direction vertically downward. the only other significant forces on his forearm come from the biceps muscle (which acts perpendicularly to the forearm) and the force at the elbow. If the biceps produces a pull of 232 N when the forearm is raised above 43° the horizontal, find the magnitude and direction of the force that the elbow exerts on the forearm. (The sum of the elbow force and the biceps force must balance the weight of the arm and the weight it is carrying, so their vector sum must be 132.5 N, upward.)

- A skydiver weighing 65 kg jumps out of a helicopter hovering at a height of 3 kilometers. Assume a cross-sectional area of 0.5 square meters. After thirty seconds of free fall, the skydiver deploys the parachute and the cross-sectional area becomes 40 square meters. Reproduce the model for the skydiver in Excel or VenSim. In VenSim you may have to make At quite small in order not to throw an error.
