A shank has a moment of inertia about the knee joint of 0.18 kg∙m^2. Assume that the quadriceps muscles (vasti and the rectus fe

moris) contract to extend the knee. If the vasti produce a torque of 0.4 Nm about the knee joint, what torque (in Nm) about the knee joint must the rectus femoris produce to cause a shank angular acceleration of 23.2 rad/s^2?

Answer:

Torque will be equal to 4.176 N-m

Explanation:

It is given moment of inertia about knee joint I=0.18kgm^2

Angular acceleration produced \alpha =23.2rad/sec^2

We e have to find the torque

Torque is equal to \tau =I\alpha , here I is moment of inertia and \alpha is angular acceleration.

Torque will be equal to \tau =0.18\times 23.2=4.176Nm

So torque is equal to 4.176 N-m

Why are the layers of the earth in the order that they are in?
REY [17]

Answer:

Each layer has its own properties, composition, and characteristics that affects many of the key processes of our planet. They are, in order from the exterior to the interior – the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core.

Consider a steel guitar string of initial length L=1.00L=1.00 meter and cross-sectional area A=0.500A=0.500 square millimeters.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The extent to which it would stretch  is \Delta L = 0.015 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The initial length is  L = 1.00m

     The area is  A = 0.500 mm^2 = \frac{0.500}{1 *10^6} = 0.500*10^6 \ m^2

     The Young modulus of the steel is  Y = 2.0*10^{11} Pa

     The tension   is  T =1500 N

The Young modulus is mathematically represented as

       Y = \frac{\sigma}{e}

Where \sigma is the stress which is mathematically represented as

           \sigma = \frac{F}{A}  

Substituting values

            \sigma = \frac{1500}{0.500*10^{-6}}  

           \sigma = 3.0*10^9 N/m^2  

And  e is the strain which is mathematically represented as

            e = \frac{\Delta L}{L }

Where \Delta L The extension of the steel string

Substituting these into the equation above

             Y = \frac{3.0*10^9}{\frac{\Delta L}{L} }

Substituting values  

           2.0 *10^{11} = \frac{3.0*10^9}{\frac{\Delta L}{L} }

          \Delta L = \frac{3.0*10^9  * 1}{2.0 *10^{11}}

         \Delta L = 0.015 \ m

These four surfaces are opaque; that is they reflect or absorb certain rays of light determine the color
masya89 [10]
In the first figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for green light, which is reflected: so, the surface will appear as green to our eyes, because green is the only color which is reflected by that surface.

Similarly, in the  second figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for blue, and so the surface will appear blue to our eyes.

In the third figure, the surface absorbs all colors, so it will appear black to our eyes (because no colors are reflected, and black=absence of colors).

In the fourth figure, all colors are reflected: this means the surface will appear white to our eyes (white= sum of all colors).
