The lubrication of bone joints is a subject of ongoing medical research. Two bones connected at a joint do not touch. The bones

are covered in articular cartilage, and are surrounded by lubricating synovial fluid. Rheumatoid arthritis results in overproduction of synovial fluid, swollen joints, and difficult and painful movement. Other joint disorders degrade the synovial fluid, directly increasing the friction between the bones, resulting in painful motion.
Part A



To measure the effective coefficient of friction in a bone joint, a healthy joint (and its immediate surroundings) can be removed from a fresh cadaver. The joint is inverted, and a weight is used to apply a downward force

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

To measure the effective coefficient of friction in a bone joint, a healthy joint (and its immediate surroundings) can be removed from a fresh cadaver. The joint is inverted, and a weight is used to apply a downward force F⃗ d on the head of the femur into the hip socket. Then, a horizontal force F⃗ h is applied and increased in magnitude until the femur head rotates clockwise in the socket. The joint is mounted in such a way that F⃗ h will cause clockwise rotation, not straight-line motion to the right. The friction force will point in a direction to oppose this rotation.

Draw vectors indicating the normal force n⃗  (magnitude and direction) and the frictional force f⃗ f (direction only) acting on the femur head at point A.

Assume that the weight of the femur is negligible compared to the applied downward force.

Draw the vectors starting at the black dot. The location, orientation and relative length of the vectors will be graded

Solution :

The normal force represented by N is equal to the downward force, $F_d$ which is equal in magnitude but it is opposite in direction.

Also the frictional force acts always to oppose the motion because the bone starts moving in a clockwise direction. The frictional force that will be applied to the right direction so that the movement or the rotation at A is opposed.

Buoyancy from water. Buoyancy is an upward force on an object immersed in a fluid (i.e., a liquid or a gas), enabling it to float or at least to appear lighter.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

a = 120 m/s²

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law in the x direction:

∑Fₓ = m*a Formula (1)

Known data

Where:

∑Fₓ: Algebraic sum of forces in the x direction

F: Force in Newtons (N)

m: mass (kg)

a: acceleration of the block (m/s²)

F = 1200N

m = 10 kg

Problem development

We replace the known data in formula (1)

1200 = 10*a

a = 1200/10

a = 120 m/s²
