Chapter 7, Problem 4CQ
If you are using a wrench to loosen a very stubborn nut, you can make the job easier by using a “cheater pipe.” This is a piece of pipe that slides over the handle of the wrench, as shown in Figure Q7.4, making it effectively much longer. Explain why this would help you loosen the nut.

The chewing muscle,
the masseter, is one of the stron-
gest in the human body. It is
attached to the mandible (lower
jawbone) as shown in Figure P8.33a. The jawbone is pivoted
about a socket just in front of the auditory canal. The forces
acting on the jawbone are equivalent to those acting on the
curved bar in Figure P8.33b. F. is the force exerted by the
food being chewed against the jawbone, T is the force of ten-
sion in the masseter, and R is the force exerted by the socket
on the mandible. Find T and R for a person who bites down
on a piece of steak with a force of 50.0 N.
