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.

_________ changes from day to day, while ____________ changes from region to region. A) climate, weather B) weather, climate C)
vladimir2022 [97]

B) Weather changes day to day, while climate changes region to region.

Climate is the weather in a certain area. It's usually the average weather over a long period of time

Weather is in shorter terms then climate

Hope this helped!

Which has the lowest heat capacity? (values of heat capacities and calculations are unnecessary).
Brrunno [24]

The correct answer is Metals.

Generally, the specific heat of metals is low. Very high specific heat exists in water.A physical feature of matter known as heat capacity or thermal capacity is the quantity of heat that must be applied to an object in order to cause a unit change in temperature. Heat capacity is measured in joules per kelvin (J/K), the SI unit. A broad property is heat capacity. Use the following equation to determine heat capacity: heat capacity = E / T, where E is the quantity of delivered heat energy and T is the change in temperature. The formula would be as follows, for instance, if it takes 2,000 Joules of energy to raise a block's temperature by 5 degrees Celsius: 2,000 Joules per °C is the heat capacity.
