When you lift an object by moving only your forearm, the main lifting muscle in your arm is the biceps. Suppose the mass of a fo

rearm is 1.30 kg . If the biceps is connected to the forearm a distance dbiceps = 3.00 cm from the elbow, how much force Fbiceps must the biceps exert to hold a 850 g ball at the end of the forearm at distance dball = 34.0 cm from the elbow, with the forearm parallel to the floor? How much force Felbow must the elbow exert?

Answer:

The answers to the questions are;

The force the biceps must exert to hold a 850 g ball at the end of the forearm at distance dball = 34.0 cm from the elbow, with the forearm parallel to the floor is 166.77 N Upwards.

The force the elbow must exert is 145.6785 N downwards.

Explanation:

We are required to analyze the system using the principle of moments as follows.

Mass of forearm = 1.30 kg

Weight of forearm = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 1.30 kg × 9.81 m/s²= 12.753 N

Location of point of action of weight of forearm = midpoint 17 cm

Forearm to biceps distance = 3.00 cm from the elbow.

Mass of the ball = 850 g

Weight of ball = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 0.850 kg × 9.81 = 8.3385 N

Position of the ball = end of the forearm

Therefore, taking moment about the elbow, we have

∑Mₓ = 0, we take clockwise moment to be positive, therefore

8.3385 N× 34.0 cm + 12.753 N× 17 cm - $F_{biceps}$ ×3.00 cm = 0

Therefore $F_{biceps}$ ×3.00 cm = 500.31 N cm

Therefore $F_{biceps}$ = (500.31 N·cm)/(3.00 cm) = 166.77 N Upwards

The force exerted by the elbow is given by,

Taking moment about the point of contact between the biceps and the forearm, we get

$F_{elbow}$ × 3.00 cm = 8.3385 N× 31.0 cm + 12.753 N× 14 cm

$F_{elbow}$ = 145.6785 N downwards.

A solid sphere of radius 40.0cm has a total positive charge of 26.0μC uniformly distributed throughout its volume. Calculate the

Rudiy27

The magnitude of the electric field for 60 cm is 6.49 × 10^5 N/C

R(radius of the solid sphere)=(60cm)( 1m /100cm)=0.6m

$Q\;(\text{total charge of the solid sphere})=(26\;\mathrm{\mu C})\left(\dfrac{1\;\mathrm{C}}{10^6\;\mathrm{\mu C}} \right)={26\times 10^{-6}\;\mathrm{C}}$

Since the Gaussian sphere of radius r>R encloses all the charge of the sphere similar to the situation in part (c), we can use Equation (6) to find the magnitude of the electric field:

$E=\dfrac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_0 r^2}$

Substitute numerical values:

$E&=\dfrac{24\times 10^{-6}}{4\pi (8.8542\times 10^{-12})(0.6)}\\ &={6.49\times 10^5\;\mathrm{N/C}\;\text{directed radially outward}}}$

The spherical Gaussian surface is chosen so that it is concentric with the charge distribution.

As an example, consider a charged spherical shell S of negligible thickness, with a uniformly distributed charge Q and radius R. We can use Gauss's law to find the magnitude of the resultant electric field E at a distance r from the center of the charged shell. It is immediately apparent that for a spherical Gaussian surface of radius r < R the enclosed charge is zero: hence the net flux is zero and the magnitude of the electric field on the Gaussian surface is also 0 (by letting QA = 0 in Gauss's law, where QA is the charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface).

A car weighing 9800 N travels at 30 m/s. What braking force brings it to rest in 100m? In 10 m?

Svetach [21]

As per kinematics equation we know that

final speed of the car = 0 m/s

initial speed is given as 30 m/s

distance moved = 100 m

now we have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 30^2 = 2(a)(100)$

$a = - 4.5 m/s^2$

now braking force is given as

$F = ma$

now for mass we know that the weight of car is

$W = mg = 9800 N$

so mass of car is

$m = 1000 kg$

now we have

$F = 1000(4.5) = 4500 N$

Part b)

Again we have

final speed of the car = 0 m/s

initial speed is given as 30 m/s

distance moved = 10 m

now we have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 30^2 = 2(a)(10)$

$a = - 45 m/s^2$

now braking force is given as

$F = ma$

mass of car is

$m = 1000 kg$

now we have

$F = 1000(45) = 45000 N$

Xavier throws a tennis ball to his friend Olaf at a 20° angle relative to the ground with an initial velocity of 18 m/s. The ten

Svetllana [295]

Ball is thrown at an angle of 20 degree with velocity 18 m/s

so first we will find the two components of the velocity

$v_x = 18 cos20$

$v_x = 16.91 m/s$

similarly for other component

$v_y = 18 sin20$

$v_y = 6.16 m/s$

now the ball will cover horizontal distance of 30 m till it reach to other player

so here we can use the formula of time

$x = v_x * t$

$30 = 16.91 * t$

$t = \frac{30}{16.91}$

$t = 1.77 s$

so it will take 1.77 s to reach the other player
