Lever
Fulcrum
- Effort force, Effort arm
- Resistive force, Resistive arm
lever
Levers:
Classified according to the relative positions of the _, effort force and resistive force
fulcrum
MA >1 = _
MA <1 = _
- mechanical advantage
- mechanical disadvantage
- Axis between effort force and resistive force
- May act with or without a mechanical advantage
- see-saw, elbow extension, head extension
1st class lever
cervical flexion/extension
1st class lever
- Resistance in between mechanical advantage
- Not as versatile as 1st class lever
- push-up, wheelbarrow
2nd class lever
Calf raise
2nd class lever
- effort force in middle
- mechanical disadvantage
3rd class lever
knee extension
3rd class lever
Anatomical levers:
muscle usually has a _ _ _ (inserts close to axis)
- this provides an advantage for increasing range of motion and velocity of distal points
- however, it also produces a mechanical disadvantage (MA<1)
- thus, muscle forces generated must be in excess of resistant forces
small effort arm
Anatomical levers:
Force of muscles can be resolved into two components:
1. on perpendicular to the attached bone
- this produces _
2. one parallel to the bone
- this produces _
- torque
- stabilizing or dislocating force
With no external force acting on an object that object wants to:
- not move if it wasn’t moving to begin with
- angular
- object continues rotating at constant speed (assuming the rigid body)
- angular momentum of an object remains constant unless a net external torque is exerted on it
- the principle of conservation of angular momentum
Angular Analog Newton’s First Law
Angular momentum:
- rigid object: Ha=Ia(t)a
- no external force causing rotation acts on spoon, therefore (t) remains _
- gravity - acts through the spoon’s center of mass
constant
Angular momentum:
- non rigid object: Ha=Ia(t)a
- according to Newton’s first law angular momentum remans constant
- therefore, if I changes (t) will _
change
A net external torque causes
- the object to angularly accelerate in the direction of the net external torque
- the object’s angular acceleration to be directly proportional to the net external torque and inversely proportional to its moment of inertia
- Net joint torque - torque necessary to produce the segmental acceleration present
Angular Analog Newton’s Second Law
