) A friend of yours complains that he often has lower back pain. One day while he picks up a package, you notice he bends at his

hips rather than keeping his back straight and bending his knees. Assume he pivots at the hips so that his spine is horizontal. His back muscles then exert a force at 48 cm away from the hips at 13.5 degrees above the horizontal (directed slightly up and to the left in the picture shown). The weight of his upper body is 560 N, and his center of mass is 38 cm from the hips. Draw a force diagram of the spine. What total force is exerted by the back muscle when he picks up a 10 kg package at 82 cm from the hips? Extra credit: Find the force exerted by the hips on the spine/pelvis

Answer:

Explanation:

Please see the figure attached for free body diagram .

Taking torque about the hip joint ,

560 x 38 + 100 x 82 = F sin13.5 x 48

21280 + 8200 = 11.2 F

F = 2632.14 N .

Force exerted by the hip on the spine = 2632.14 N .

zmey [24]
This statement is true. The point located at the geometric center of an object is indeed called the object's center of gravity. Center of gravity is the average of the weight of a resultant of the parallel forces, including all the particles that is passing through its body.
