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.

An auto magazine reports that a certain sports car has 53% of its weight on the front wheels and 47% on its rear wheels. (That is, the total normal forces on the front and rear wheels are 0.53w and 0.47w, respectively, where w is the car’s weight). The distance between the axles is 2.46 m. How far in front of the rear axle is the car’s center of gravity?
DA man holds a 178-N ball in his hand, with the arm bone- 22. Upper - rlexor muscle forcarm horizontal (sce the draw- ing). He can support the ball in this position because of the flexor muscle force M, which is applied perpendicular to the forearm. The forearm weighs 22.0 N and has a center of gravity as indicated.

A person who weighs 775 N supports himself on the ball of one foot. The normal force N = 775 N pushes up on the ball of the foot on one side of the ankle joint, while the Achilles tendon pulls up on the foot on the other side of the joint. The center of gravity of the person is located right above the tibia. What is the tension in the Achilles tendon? If the force acting is upward, enter a positive value and if the force acting is downward, enter a negative value.

The plank is a great way to strengthen abdominal, back, and shoulder muscles. You can also use this exercise position to locate your center of gravity. Holding plank position with a scale under his toes and another under his forearms, one athlete measured that 66.0% of his weight was supported by his forearms and 34.0% by his toes. (That is, the total normal forces on his forearms and toes were 0.660w and 0.340w, respectively, where w is the athlete’s weight.) He is 1.80 m tall, and in plank position the distance from his toes to the middle of his forearms is 1.53 m. How far from his toes is his center of gravity?
A 50 N hand and forearm are held at a 35° angle to the vertically oriented humerus. The CG of the forearm and hand is located at a distance of 12.5 cm from the joint center at the elbow, and the elbow flexor muscles attach at an average distance of 2.5 cm from the joint center. (Assume that the muscles attach at an angle of 35° to the forearm bones.) How much force must be exerted by the forearm flexors to maintain this position?
