A weight lifter is trying to do a bicep curl with a weight of 300 N. At the "sticking point", the moment arm of this weight is 3

0 cm about the elbow axis of rotation. The maximum force that the elbow flexor muscles can create for this situation is 4000 N and the moment arm of the elbow flexors is 2 cm. Can the lifter get past this sticking point?

Answer:

The weight lifter would not get past this sticking point.

Explanation:

Generally torque applied on the weight is mathematically represented as

             T =  F z

To obtain Elbow torque we substitute 4000 N for F (the force ) and 2cm = \frac{2}{100} = 0.02m for z the perpendicular distance

So Elbow Torque is   T_e= 4000 * 0.02

                                   = 80Nm

 To obtain the torque required we substitute 300 N for F and 30cm =\frac{30}{100} = 0.3 m

  So the Required Torque is T_R = 300 *0.3

                                                     =90Nm

Now since   T_e < T_R it mean that the weight lifter would not get past this sticking point

Sugar dissolved in water is an example of?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

D. Solution

Explanation:

Sugar dissolved in water is an example of solution.

A solution is a homogenous mixture of solutes and solvents.

In a solution the solute particles ae distributed uniformly in the solvents. The solute is the substance and it is the sugar here that is dissolved to make a solution.

The solvent is the water in this instance that helps to dissolve the solute.
