Coronoid process of the ulna
Answer:
M_c = 100.8 Nm
Explanation:
Given:
F_a = 2.5 KN
Find:
Determine the moment of this force about C for the two cases shown.
Solution:
- Draw horizontal and vertical vectors at point A.
- Take moments about point C as follows:
M_c = F_a*( 42 / 150 ) *144
M_c = 2.5*( 42 / 150 ) *144
M_c = 100.8 Nm
- We see that the vertical component of force at point A passes through C.
Hence, its moment about C is zero.
Answer:
Explanation:
As we know that moment of force is given as
now we have
now from above formula we have
here we know that
so we have
Answer:
A book on its side exerts a greater force.
Explanation:
Pressure = Force / Area
Assuming that 1kg = 10N
2kg = 20N
Area of book lying flat = 0.3m × 0.2m
= 0.6m²
Pressure of book lying flat = 20N / 0.6m²
= 30Pa (1 s.f.)
Area of book on its side = 0.2m × 0.05m
= 0.01m²
Pressure of book on its side = 20N / 0.01m²
= 2000Pa (1 s.f.)
Since 2000Pa (1 s.f.) > 30Pa (1 s.f.), a book on its side applies greater pressure than lying flat.
