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)

2. a) Label the system provided below, including the reference frame, moment arms and vector forces with the information provided. Internal moment arm = 4cm +0.04m External moment arm relative to the segment weight = 25cm 0.25m External moment arm relative to the load weight = 45cm 40.45m Segment weight = 50 N Load weight = 100 N Lower leg segment angle relative to horizontal plane = 45° Quadriceps tendon angle = 45° Axis of rotation MF SW LW 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?
