While exercising in a fitness center, a man lies face down on a bench and lifts a weight with one lower leg by contracting the muscles in the back of the upper leg. Find the magnitude of the angular acceleration produced given the mass lifted is 10.5 kg at a distance of 28.0 cm from the knee joint, the moment of inertia of the lower leg is 0.900 kg·m2, the muscle force is 1410 N, and its effective perpendicular lever arm is 3.50 cm. How much work is done if the leg rotates through an angle of 10.0° with a constant force exerted by the muscle?
here,
m = 10.5 kg
d = 0.28 m
moment of inertia , I = 0.9 kg.m^2
F = 1410 N
r = 0.035 m
theta = 10 degree
net torque, t = 1410 N * 0.035 m - 10.5kg * 9.8 m/s² * 0.28m
t = 20.538 N·m
total I = 0.9 kg·m² + 10.5kg*(0.28m)² = 1.72 kg·m²
torque = I * alpha
20.538 N·m = 1.72 kg·m² * alpha
aplha = 11.9 rad/s²
the angular accelration is 11.9 rad/s^2
the work done, using the rotational equivalent of F*d
work = t * theta
W = 20.538 N·m * 0.174
W = 3.57 J
the work is done if the leg rotates through an angle of 10.0 degree is 3.57 J

A soccer player extends her lower leg in a kicking motion by exerting a force with the muscle above the knee in the front of her leg. Suppose she produces an angular acceleration of 32 rad/s2 and her lower leg has a moment of inertia of 0.75 kg⋅m2 . What is the force, in newtons, exerted by the muscle if its effective perpendicular lever arm is 2.05 cm? F =
PROBLEM 2 Knee Extension - The angular motion of the lower leg about the knee joint, and the forces and torques produced by the muscles crossing the knee joint during knee flexions and extensions have been investigated by a number of researchers utilizing different experimental techniques. One of these techniques is discussed here. Consider the person illustrated in Fig. 10.12. The test subject is sitting on a table, with the back placed against a back rest and the lower legs...
1. Kinetics is the study of forces acting on a system. True False 2. Kinematics is the study of motion without regard to its causes (forces). True False 3. The similarity between the Macrocycle Flowchart, the Training Pyramid and the Goals for Performance pyramid can be best described as an athlete should have a structured foundation and not proceed too early. True False 4. When should static stretching be performed? Minutes before event performance Hours prior to event or the...
