The bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) are hinged to the humerus at the elbow. The biceps muscle connects to the bones of th

e forearm about 2.15 cm beyond the joint. Assume the forearm has a mass of 2.25 kg and a length of 0.425 m. When the humerus and the biceps are nearly vertical and the forearm is horizontal, if a person wishes to hold an object of mass 6.15 kg so that her forearm remains motionless, what is the force exerted by the biceps muscle

Answer:

The force exerted by the biceps is 143.8 kgf.

Explanation:

To calculate the force exerted by the biceps, we calculate the momentum in the elbow.

This momentum has to be zero so that her forearm remains motionless.

Being:

W: mass weight (6.15 kg)

d_W= distance to the mass weight (0.425 m)

A: weight of the forearm (2.25 kg)

d_A: distance to the center of mass of the forearm (0.425/2=0.2125 m)

H: force exerted by the biceps

d_H: distance to the point of connection of the biceps (0.0215 m)

The momemtum is:

H*d_H-A*d_A-W*d_W=0\\\\H=(A*d_A+W*d_W)/d_H\\\\H=(2.25*0.2125+6.15*0.425)/0.0215\\\\H=(0.478125+2.61375)/0.0215\\\\H=3.091875/0.0215=143.8

The force exerted by the biceps is 143.8 kgf.

What is the equivalent resistance of the
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Approximately 111\; {\rm \Omega}.

Explanation:

It is given that R_{1} = 200\; {\Omega} and R_{2} = 250\; {\Omega} are connected in a circuit in parallel.

Assume that this circuit is powered with a direct current power supply of voltage V.

Since R_{1} and R_{2} are connected in parallel, the voltage across the two resistors would both be V. Thus, the current going through the two resistors would be (V / R_{1}) and (V / R_{2}), respectively.

Also because the two resistors are connected in parallel, the total current in this circuit would be the sum of the current in each resistor: I = (V / R_{1}) + (V / R_{2}).

In other words, if the voltage across this circuit is V, the total current in this circuit would be I = (V / R_{1}) + (V / R_{2}). The (equivalent) resistance R of this circuit would be:

\begin{aligned} R &= \frac{V}{I} \\ &= \frac{V}{(V / R_{1}) + (V / R_{2})} \\ &= \frac{1}{(1/R_{1}) + (1 / R_{2})}\end{aligned}.

Given that R_{1} = 200\; {\Omega} and R_{2} = 250\; {\Omega}:

\begin{aligned} R &= \frac{1}{(1/R_{1}) + (1 / R_{2})} \\ &= \frac{1}{(1/(200\: {\rm \Omega})) + (1/(250\; {\rm \Omega}))} \\ &\approx 111\; {\rm \Omega}\end{aligned}.

You walk six blocks east along 12th Street, then three blocks west, then one block east, then six blocks east, then seven blocks
Oksana_A [137]
Displacement depends upon the path taken as it is a vector.

From your problem above we would have a total displacement of;
Defining +x direction as east and -x direction as west

6east-3west+1east+6east-7west

6-3+1+6-7=3 blocks east or + x-direction

So even though they walked a total of 17 blocks it ends up only being 3 blocks total in +xdirection that was travelled by displacement.

Any questions please ask.

3. If a car is moving at 90km/hr and it rounds a corner, also at 90km/hr. Does it maintain
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Constant speed: yes

Constant velocity: no

Explanation:

Let's remind the definition of speed and velocity:

- Speed is a scalar quantity, which is equal to the ratio between the distance covered (regardless of the direction) and the time taken:

s=\frac{d}{t}

- Velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. The magnitude is equal to the rate between the displacement of the object and the time taken, while the direction is the same as the displacement.

In this problem, we notice that:

- The speed of the car remains constant, as it is 90 km/h

- However, its direction of motion changes while the car travels round the corner: this means that the direction of the velocity is also changing, therefore velocity is not constant.
