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.

Refer to question 27 above. What is ending inventory (in dollars) at March 31, 2020 under the moving-average inventory method? (Round all calculations to nearest hundredth decimal)

The measurement of physiological cross-sectional area takes into account the length of the muscle fibers.

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.)

What measure indicates the slope of the stress-strain relationship in the linear region?

The basic genetic model for quantitative traits is expressed as .  In this model, what does represent?

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.

A muscle contraction becomes less efficient as the speed of shortening increases.

You are working with an orthopedic surgeon, and they ask you to help model how much force the knee extensor muscles exert on the lower leg (shank) as it moves through the swing phase of the gait cycle. Assume the upper leg (femur) is in contact with the shank during this phase of the gait cycle. Draw a free body diagram on your scratch paper of this problem, and upload it at the end after you have submitted your exam.

Now that you have completed the exam, you will now submit your exam. You will then return to the Midterm 1 Module in Canvas for today, and upload a scanned version of all your handwritten work. You will have 10 minutes after your submission time to upload a scanned version of any written work for partial credit considerations. No partial credit can be provided for any problem in which the work is illegible or not clearly numbered, or if any pages are missing. Your exam submission time will be stamped in Canvas and will be used for cross-reference. Thank you.
