1. I acknowledge that this exam is open-note and open-book, and is to be taken with a non-phone calculator. I acknowledge that no outside help from another person or bot is allowed. I therefore confirm that all work that I submit today is my own, and I fully understand that any evidence of cheating or exam copying is a violation of the ASU Academic Integrity policy and will be subject to administrative action. 2. I acknowledge that I will clearly number and document all my written work for solving the numeric problems on this exam, and I will submit a scanned copy of any written work within 10 minutes of turning my exam in. Failure to do so will prevent my work from being considered for partial credit. 3. I also acknowledge that I will submit my written work after I have submitted my exam. I will return to the Midterm 1 module and upload my work using the provided link.

There are three elbow flexor muscles. Suppose that the elbow joint is flexed to 90° and that these muscles are generating 290, 440, and 95 N of force and pulling at angles of 40°, 11.4°, and 17.2° respectively, relative to the horizontal. For simplicity, assume the three muscles share a common point of attachment on the radius. Calculate the direction and the magnitude of the resultant muscle force.

The medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemius each exert a force of 350 N that is directed at 14.3° to the left and right of the midline of the muscle, respectively, while a person is standing in anatomical position. Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant.

Suppose the graph below represents the most common form of the angle-torque relationship, such as for the elbow flexors. If the force exerted by the elbow flexor muscles remained constant at 3.5 kN over this range of motion, what would be the minimum and maximum values for the moment arm? (1 radians = 57.3 degrees.)

Over 95% of hip fractures among older adults are due to slipping or tripping. Consider an older adult who has just tripped going up the stairs in their home. At trip initiation, they have a forward velocity of 9.47 m/sec and a vertical velocity of 3.21 m/sec. Find the angle of take-off (relative to the horizontal) and the magnitude of the resultant velocity vector.
