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

planet a has twice the mass of planet b. from this info what can we conclude about the acceleration due to gravity at the surfac
tangare [24]

Answer: acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b. Given that the radius are thesame.

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is as a result of the gravitational force of attraction of a planet to its centre.

g = GM/r^2

Where;

g = acceleration due to gravity

G = gravitational constant

M = mass of planet

r = radius of planet

Given that the two planet have the same radius, if the mass of planet a is twice the mass of planet b the the acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b, because acceleration due to gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the planet.

4. Calculate the total resistance for two 180 ohm resistors connected in<br> parallel
solmaris [256]

Answer:

90 ohms

Explanation:

1/r = 1/180 + 1/180

1/r= 2/180

take the reciprocal of 2/180 which is 180/2 and its 90 ohms
