Chapter 7, Problem 8AP
8. How much tension (Fm) must be supplied by the triceps to stabilize the arm against an external force (Fe) of 200 N, given dm = 2 cm and de = 25 cm? What is the magnitude of the joint reaction force (R)? (Because the forearm is vertical, its weight does not produce torque at the elbow.) (Answer: Fm = 2500 N, R = 2700 N)

2b) Using the figure in 2a., calculate the external torque of the system relative to the normal
component of segment and load weights listed above.
2c) Calculate the amount of both the tangential component of the muscle force and the muscle force
itself required to keep this system in a state of static equilibrium.
5. Using the hip joint reaction force example we did in class, if the moment arm for the cane is
30 cm and the cane force is applied in the vertical direction, how much would the cane force
have to be to reduce the muscle force to 1.5BW? Under that condition, what would the joint
reaction force be?

- How much force must be produced by the biceps brachii, attaching at 90? to the radius at 3 cm from the center of rotation at the elbow joint, to support a weight of 200 N held in the hand at a distance of 30 cm from the elbow joint? (Neglect the weight of the forearm and hand, and neglect any action of other muscles)arrow_forward< The three main forces that act on the patella are shown on the diagram of the knee joint below. These forces are the quadriceps muscle force (FQ), the patella ligament force (FPL), and the patellofemoral joint reaction force (FPF). The angles a and ẞ are with respect to a line that is perpendicular to FPF. Assuming a = 15°, ẞ = 20°, and FQ = 3725 N, use equations for static equilibrium to calculate (a) FPL, and (b) FPF. (Hint: To solve this problem consider using a coordinate system that is aligned with the principal axes of the patella instead of the usual vertical and horizontal axes). (c) Many people assume FQ and FPL are always equal in magnitude but this is only true under certain circumstances. Under what conditions are FQ and FPL equal in magnitude?

How does this influence potential injury mechanics?arrow_forwardTwo lifter's knees are of interest at a specific moment in their lifts. In both lifts, the knee extensor torque is 100 Nm, requiring quadriceps tendon/patella ligament forces of 1000 N (about 220 Ibs). Despite equivalent knee torques and quadriceps forces, patellofemoral joint forces are higher on the knees of lifter A. Briefly explain why.
