To strengthen his arm and chest muscles, an 77.0 kg athlete 2.00 m tall is doing a series of push-ups as shown in the figure below (Figure 1) . His center of mass is 1.20 m from the bottom of his feet, and the centers of his palms are 30.0 cm from the top of his head. Find the force that the floor exerts on each of his feet and on each hand, assuming that both feet exert the same force and both palms do likewise.

Part A

Find the force that the floor exerts on each of his feet, assuming that both feet exert the same force

Part B

Find the force that the floor exerts on each of his hand, both palms exert the same force.

An athlete at the gym holds a 2.0 kg steel ball in his hand. His arm is 70 cm long and has a mass of 4.0 kg . What is the magnitude of the torque about his shoulder if he holds his arm straight out to his side, parallel to the floor? What is the magnitude of the torque about his shoulder if he holds his arm straight, but 35 degrees below horizontal?

A 0.25 kg block slides down a ramp that is 0.6 m tall, 0.8 m long and has a diagonal length of 1.0 m. The block starts at rest and arrives at the bottom with a speed of 1.3m/s. a.) How much heat was created by friction? b.)What is the average frictional force acting on the block? At what rate is kinetic energy being dissipated into heat near the bottom of the ramp? c.)Instead of a block, a cart with...

A 58.0 kg bungee jumper is standing on a tall platform (ho = 46.0 m) as shown in the diagram. The bungee cord has an unstrained length of Lo = 9.00 m, and when stretched, behaves like an ideal spring with a spring constant of k = 61.0 N/m. The jumper falls from rest, and the only forces acting on him are gravity and, for the latter part of the descent, the elastic force of the bungee cord. What is...

The diagram below shows a block of mass m = 2.00 kg on a frictionless horizontal surface, as seen from above. Three forces of magnitudes F1 = 4.00 N, F 2 = 6.00 N, and F 3 = 8.00 N are applied to the block, initially at rest on the surface, at angles shown on the diagram. In this problem, you will determine the resultant (total) force vector from the combination of the three individual force vectors. All angles...
