Compute the muscle force and disk compressive force for two different lifting methods. Which method is safer to lift?

a. Muscle (erector spinae) moment arm is 2 in.
b. Weight of the box is 40 lbs.
c. Horizonal moment-arm (from lumbar spine to the box) for the first and second methods are 20 inch and 18 inch, respectively.

Dshould be the right answer i think

Since you have not included the experiment situation and the data, of course, i can not give you specific details about it. but i can you with this question.1) i will assume that the motion is projectile (parabolic) motion.2) yes, the horizontal distance depends on the horizontal velocity as, naming vx the horizontal velocity and t the time, it is: x = vx × t3) now, observe that the flight time depends on the vertical velocity as, naming voy the initial vertical velocity, t the time and y the vertical distance before reaching the ground: y = yo + voy×t - gt² / 2.the higher the initial vertical velocity (voy) the longer the object will be flying and so t will be higher in the equation for the horizontal distance.that explains the relationship between the horizontal distance and the horizontal velocity.
