Problems 3–4 refer to the following situation. The chewing muscle, the masseter, is one of the strongest in the human body. It is attached to the mandible (lower jawbone) as shown in the Figure below on the left. The jawbone is pivoted about a socket just in front of the auditory
canal. The forces acting on the jawbone are equivalent to those acting on the curved bar in Figure below on the right. 𝐹𝐢 is the force exerted by the food being chewed against the jawbone, 𝑇 is the force of tension in the masseter, and 𝑅 is the force exerted by the socket on the mandible. We will consider 𝐹𝐢 = 50.0 𝑁. The system is in equilibrium.
Problem 3:
What is 𝑇, the force of tension in the masseter?

a. 57.1 N b. 107.1 N c. 157.1 N d. 207.1 N
Problem 4:

What is 𝑅, the force exerted by the socket on the mandible?
a. 57.1 N b. 107.1 N c. 157.1 N d. 207.1 N

Problems 5–7 refer to the following situation. A person bending forward to lift a load β€œwith his back” (see figure below on the left) rather than β€œwith his knees” can be injured by large forces exerted on the muscles and vertebrae. The spine pivots mainly at the fifth lumbar vertebra, with the principal supporting force provided by the erector spinalis muscle in the back. To see the magnitude of the forces involved, and to understand why back problems are common among humans, consider the model shown in the figure below on the right of a person bending forward to lift a 200 N object. The spine and upper body are represented as a uniform horizontal rod of length 45.0 cm and weight 350 N, pivoted at the base of the spine.
The erector spinalis muscle, attached at a point two thirds of the way up the spine (a distance of 30.0 cm from the spine), maintains the position of the back. The angle between the spine and this muscle is 12.0∘. The system is in equilibrium.
