Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics

In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.

Equilibrium of Forces

The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.

In exercise physiology studies, it is sometimes important to determine the location of a person's center of gravity. This can be done with the arrangement shown in the figure below. A woman of length 2.00 m lies on top of a horizontal plank so that her head is near the left end of the plank and her feet are near the right end. Each end of the plank is supported by a scale. The scale on the left is labeled Fg1, and reads a slightly larger value than the scale on the right, which is labeled Fg2. A light plank rests on two scales that read Fg1 = 380 N and Fg2 = 260 N. The scales are separated by a distance of 2.00 m. How far from the woman's feet is her center of gravity? ???? m
A standard four-drawer filing cabinet is 52 inches high and 15 inches wide. If it is evenly loaded, the center of gravity is at the center of the cabinet. A worker is tilting a filing cabinet to the side to clean under it. To what angle can he tilt the cabinet before it tips over?
A store's sign has a mass of 20 kg and is 3.0 m long. It is uniform, so its center of gravity is at the center of the sign. It is supported horizontally by a small loose bolt attached to the wall at one end and by a wire at the other end, as shown in the figure. What is the tension in the wire? 25° 3.0 m 460 N 230 N 110 N 200 N
The femur of a human leg (mass 10 kg, length 0.9 m) is in traction, as shown in the figure. The center of gravity of the leg is one-third of the distance from the pelvis to the bottom of the foot. Two objects, with masses mj and m2, m, are hung at the ends of the leg using pulleys to provide upward support. A third object of 8 kg is hung to provide tension along the leg. The body provides tension as well. body Write a mathematical relationship relating mi to m2 in terms of m2 and numerical coefficients. 8 kg mj = m- m2 Incorrect Is the expression for m1 valid for more than one pair of values of mj and m2? yes no Incorrect Suppose the tension force due to mj is now applied at the leg's center of mass. Write a new expression relating m, to m2 in terms of m2, numerical coefficients, and given values. If you use a given value in your equation, enter it as a number without units.

When you bend over, a series of large muscles, the erector spinae, pull on your spine to hold you up. Figure shows a simplified model of the spine as a rod of length L that pivots at its lower end. In this model, the center of gravity of the 320 N weight of the upper torso is at the center of the spine. The 160 N weight of the head and arms acts at the top of the spine. The erector spinae muscles are modeled as a single muscle that acts at an 12° angle to the spine. Suppose the person shown bends over to an angle of 30° from the horizontal. a. What is the tension in the erector muscle? Hint: Align your x-axis with the axis of the spine.b. A force from the pelvic girdle acts on the base of the spine. What is the component of this force in the direction of the spine? (This large force is the cause of many back injuries).
A gravity board is a convenient and quick way to determine the location of the center of gravity of a person. It consists of a horizontal board supported by a fulcrum at one end and a scale at the other end. To demonstrate this in class, your physics professor calls on you to lie horizontally on the board with the top of your head directly above the fulcrum point as shown in the figure. The fulcrum is 2.00 m from the scale. In preparation for this experiment, you had accurately weighed yourself and determined your mass to be 65.0 kg. When you are at rest on the gravity board, the scale advances 300 N beyond its reading when the board is there by itself. Use this data to determine the location of your center of gravity relative to the top of your head. -2 m еВook
