A person is sitting with one leg outstretched and stationary, so that it makes an angle of θ = 27.5° with the horizontal, as the

drawing indicates. the weight of the leg below the knee is 40.1 n, with the center of gravity located below the knee joint. the leg is being held in this position because of the force m applied by the quadriceps muscle, which is attached ℓ1 = 0.105 m below the knee joint (see the drawing). obtain the magnitude of m. (assume the angle α = 30.0° and the distance ℓ2 = 0.150 m.

here we will use the torque balance about the knee joint

here we can say that

\tau_g = \tau_m

here torque due to weight is given as

\tau_g = 40.1 cos\theta*(l_1 + l_2)

\tau_g = 40.1 cos27.5*(0.105 + 0.150)

\tau_g = 9.07 Nm

now torque due to applied force of muscle

\tau_m = M*sin\alpha * l_1

\tau_m = M*sin30* 0.105

now by torque balance we will have

9.07 = M*0.5*0.105

M = 173 N

so here the magnitude of m will be 173 N

If a vector A has components A. 0, and Ay -0, then the magnitude of the vector is negative. Select one: True False
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The magnitude of any vector is given by,

||A||=\sqrt{A_x^2+A_y^2}

The magnitude of anything is never negative. It can be even seen from the formula that the components are squared. A squared value can never be negative. Even if the component is negative the square will be always positive.

So, magnitude of the vector is <u>not</u> negative.

A coil formed by wrapping 65 turns of wire in the shape of a square is positioned in a magnetic field so that the normal to the
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

377 m

Explanation:

number of turns, N = 65

θ = 36°

B1 = 200 micro Tesla

B2 = 600 micro tesla

t = 0.4 s

induced emf, e = 80 mV

Let a be the side of the square coil.

e=\frac{d\phi }{dt}=NA\frac{dB}{dt}\times Sinθ

0.080=\frac{65\times a^{2}\times Sin36\times\left ( 600 - 200 \right )\times 10^{-6}}{0.4}

0.080=0.038a^{2}

a = 1.45 m

Total length of the wire, L = N x 4a = 65 x 4 x 1.45 = 377 m

Thus, the length of the wire is 377 m.

. A student claims that if lighting strikes a metal flagpole, the force exerted by the Earth’s magnetic field on the current in
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, current generated from lightning range from

10⁴ A < I < 10^5 A

We know that,

The magnetic force is given as

F = iLB

The magnetic field on the earth surface is

B = 10^-5 T

So, let assume the worst case of a 15m flag pole

L = 15m

Then,

F = iLB

F = 10^5 × 10 × 10^-5

F = 15 N

Therefore, 15N is fairly strong so it will come to the material that was use for the material of the flag pole.

Therefore, it is possible that the student is right depending on the material of the flag pole.
