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.

A ship is travelling due east at 30 km/hr and a boy runs across the deck
dsp73

Answer:

Vr = 20 [km/h]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we have to add the relative velocities. We must remember that velocity is a vector, therefore it has magnitude and direction. We will take the sea as the reference measurement level.

Let's take the direction of the ship as positive. Therefore the boy moves in the opposite direction (Negative) to the reference level (the sea).

V_{r}=30-10\\V_{r}=20 [km/h]

When light passes through sequential interfaces, there may be a change of phase upon reflection at each interface.
Lena [83]

That's true.

I have a hunch that there definitely IS a change of phase at every reflection.

The air movements toward the equator are called trade winds, which are warm, steady breezes that blowalmost continuously. The Coriolis Effect makes the trade winds appear to be curving to the west, whether they are traveling to the equator from the south or north. Answer trade wind

Using equations, determine the temperature, pressure and density of the air for a aircraft flying at 19.5 km. Is this aircraft s
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

a) - 72.5°c

b) pressure = 3625.13 Pa

c) density =  0.063 kg/m^3

d) it is a subsonic aircraft

Explanation:

a) Determine Temperature

Temperature at 19.5 km ( 19500 m )

T = -131 + ( 0.003 * altitude in meters )

  =  -131 + ( 0.003 * 19500 ) = - 72.5°c

b) Determine pressure and density at 19.5 km altitude

Given :

Po (atmospheric pressure at sea level )  = 101kpa

R ( gas constant of air ) = 0.287 KJ/Kgk

T = -72.5°c ≈ 200.5 k

pressure = 3625.13 Pa

hence density = 0.063 kg/m^3

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

C) determine if the aircraft is subsonic or super sonic

Velocity ( v ) = \sqrt{CRT}  =  \sqrt{1.4*287*200.5 } = 283.8 m/s

hence it is a subsonic aircraft
