AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the M and F forces in a biomechanics problem involving neck muscles supporting a 3kg head. The provided values for M and F are 25N and 45N, respectively, but the poster expresses confusion about how these values were derived. They argue that the F force should actually be 30N, aligning with the weight of the head, which is given as 30N. Additionally, the poster notes discrepancies in the calculations, suggesting that the values do not correspond correctly to the problem's parameters. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarification on force calculations in biomechanics.

Homework Statement


So there is given that the muscles of the neck support the head and thus exert an M force. The head is 3kg = 30N.

Homework Equations


We got to calculate the M and F forces.

The M force has to be 25 and F 45 . I know this because we got the answers.

The Attempt at a Solution


No idea how those values were calculated, please help

Photo is bad quality so i don't see details very well. But what i see is that you have certain distance between this forces as well..
 
Also this solutions are not correct for this poor example. You would get G=20N if M=25N and F=45N. On picture is says G=30N.
First of all i think F should be 30N according to nature of problem and the question would be to find forces M and G on muscles if distance between is x,y.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
