Figure 1 above shows an athlete's forearm holding a steel ball. The forearm is supported by a contraction of the biceps muscle, which causes a torque around the elbow. Assuming that the tension in the biceps acts along the vertical direction given by gravity and the centre of gravity of the forearm is half of L. What tension must the biceps muscle exert to hold the forearm at the position shown? Sketch and label your free body diagram. (Let L= 33.5 cm, d = 3.8 cm, mass of steel ball = 280 g, mass of the forearm = 2.5 kg)

Three point charges, two positive and one negative, each having a magnitude of 20 μc are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle (30 cm on a side). what is the magnitude of the electrostatic force on the negative charge

There is a theory that indicates that dinosaurs became extinct when about 65 million years ago, a large asteroid hit the earth surface. dust caused by this collision blocked the sunlight reaching the earth's surface and many forms of life became extinct due to the cold. fearing this threat, how large the radius of an asteroid should you be looking for if the dangerous asteroid size is approximately the same as the one that killed the dinosaurs? available data suggests that about 18% of that asteroid's mass ended up as a dust spread evenly over earth after eventually settling out of the upper atmosphere. about 0.0180 g/cm^2 of dust, which is chemically different than the earth's rock, covered the earth's surface. typical asteroids have a density of about 1.9 g/cm^3. now that we know the size of the asteroid, how much energy was released during impact, assuming all of it was just the kinetic energy of the asteroid right before the impact?

9.98 kg of r-134a at 300 kpa fills a rigid container whose volume is 14 l. determine the temperature and total enthalpy in the container. the container is now heated until the pressure is 600 kpa. determine the temperature and total enthalpy when the heating is completed. use data from the steam tables.
