What force must the deltoid muscle provide to keep the arm in this position?

Answer:

Deltoid Force, F_{d} = \frac {r_{a}mgsin\alpha_{a}}{r_{d}sin\alpha_{d}}

Additional Information:

Some numerical information are missing from the question. However, I will derive the formula to calculate the force of the deltoid muscle. All you need to do is insert the necessary information and calculate.  

Explanation:

The deltoid muscle is the one keeping the hand arm in position. We have two torques that apply to the rotating of the arm.

1. The torque about the point in the shoulder for the deltoid muscle, T_{Deltoid}

2. The torque of the arm, T_{arm}  

Assuming the arm is just being stretched and there is no rotation going on,

                        T_{Deltoid} = 0

                       T_{arm} = 0

       ⇒           T_{Deltoid} = T_{arm}

                  r_{d}F_{d}sin\alpha_{d} = r_{a}F_{a}sin\alpha_{a}

Where,

r_{d} is radius of the deltoid

F_{d} is the force of the deltiod

\alpha_{d} is the angle of the deltiod

r_{a} is the radius of the arm

F_{a} is the force of the arm , F_{a} = mg  which is the mass of the arm and acceleration due to gravity

\alpha_{a} is the angle of the arm

The force of the deltoid muscle is,

                                 F_{d} = \frac {r_{a}F_{a}sin\alpha_{a}}{r_{d}sin\alpha_{d}}

but F_{a} = mg ,

                ∴            F_{d} = \frac {r_{a}mgsin\alpha_{a}}{r_{d}sin\alpha_{d}}

If the sound level at a point is 98.0 dB, what is the intensity of sound at that point (Unit=W/m^2)? please help will give brain
Firlakuza [10]

Answer: The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale where each bel or 10 decibels correspondents to a factor of ten. A power intensity of 10^(-12) watts per square meter is the standard reference for a SPL of 0 db. So an SPL of 98 db corresponds to a power intensity of 10^(9.8)*10^(-12) or 10^(9.8–12) w/m^2.

0.006309573 w/m^2.

You can also readily find the value for any given SPL using the online calculator at: http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-soundlevel.htm

A train whistle is heard at 300 Hz as the train approaches town. The train cuts its speed in half as it nears the station, and t
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

Explanation:

We can calculate the speed of the train using the Doppler equation:

f = f_{0}\frac{v + v_{o}}{v - v_{s}}        

Where:

f₀: is the emitted frequency

f: is the frequency heard by the observer  

v: is the speed of the sound = 343 m/s

v_{o}: is the speed of the observer = 0 (it is heard in the town)

v_{s}: is the speed of the source =?

The frequency of the train before slowing down is given by:

f_{b} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}  (1)                  

Now, the frequency of the train after slowing down is:

f_{a} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}   (2)  

Dividing equation (1) by (2) we have:

\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}}{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}}

\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - v_{s_{b}}}   (3)  

Also, we know that the speed of the train when it is slowing down is half the initial speed so:

v_{s_{b}} = 2v_{s_{a}}     (4)

Now, by entering equation (4) into (3) we have:

\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - 2v_{s_{a}}}  

\frac{300 Hz}{290 Hz} = \frac{343 m/s - v_{s_{a}}}{343 m/s - 2v_{s_{a}}}

By solving the above equation for v_{s_{a}} we can find the speed of the train after slowing down:

v_{s_{a}} = 11.06 m/s

Finally, the speed of the train before slowing down is:

v_{s_{b}} = 11.06 m/s*2 = 22.12 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.                        

I hope it helps you!

What is the difference between: first moment of area and second moment of area?
zhannawk [14.2K]
To determine the centroid of the object first moment of area is used.

To predict the resistance of a shape to bending and deflection which are directly proportional, second moment of area is used.
