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

Physics
1 answer:
ruslelena [56]2 years ago
7 0

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}}

A car travels due east with a speed of 52.0 km/h. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth
serg [7]

Answer:

a) v = 6.43 m/s

b) v = 15.8 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of car = 56 km/h

56 km/h = 14.4 m/s

Angle rain makes on the glass to the vertical = 66°

Thus knowing that the opposite side of the angle is the distance moved by the car, and the adjacent side is the distance traveled by the rain in the same time

both of which are directly proportional to their velocities

Then

tan(66°) = 14.44m/s ÷ x

or x = 14.44/tan(66°)

Which is the vertical raindrop velocity of the relative to earth

v = 6.43 m/s vertically towards earth

For v relative to the car is we have vector sum of both velocities

v = √(14.44^2 + 6.43^2) = 15.8 m/s which is the velocity relative to car

= 15.8 m/s

If you wanted to know how big a tiger is, which measurements would you use?
valina [46]

Answer:

meter, kilogram

Explanation:

Here we want to know how big the tiger is. This means that we want to measure its size and possibly its mass.

The size is actually a measure of the length of the tiger, and length is measured in meters.

The mass of an object, instead, is a measure of the "amount of matter" in the substance, and it is measured in kilograms.

The other options are wrong because:

- The second is the unit of time

- The candela is the unit of the luminous intensity

- The mole is the unit of the amount of substance, and it is used for gases

- The ampere is the unit of the current

MAXImum [283]
Base on your question where a 14.8g of piece of Styrofoam carries a net charge of -0.742C and is suspended in equilibrium above the center of a large, horizontal sheet of plastic so the ask of the problem is to calculate  the charge per unit area on the plastic sheet. The answer would be 21.96

A diffraction grating with 1000 lines per mm is used in a spectrometer to measure the wavelengths of light emitted from a gas di
frez [133]

Answer:

= 9.8°

Explanation:

Width of one slit (a₁ ) = 1 / 1000 mm=0.001 mm = 10⁻⁶ m.

width of one slit in case 2 (a₂ ) = 1/500 =2 x 10⁻⁶ m

angular position of fringe, Sinθ  = n λ /a

n is order of fringe , λ is wave length of light and a  is slit aperture

So Sinθ  ∝ 1 / a

Sin θ₁ /Sin θ₂ = a₂/a₁ ;

Sin20°/sinθ₂ = 2 / 1

sinθ₂ = Sin 20° / 2 = .342/2 = .171

θ₂ = 9.8 °
