Your friend balances a package with mass m = 10 kg on top of his head while
Question:
Your friend balances a package with mass m = 10 kg on top of his head while standing. The mass of his upper body is M = 55 kg (about 65% of his total mass). Because the spine is vertical rather than horizontal, the force exerted by the sacrum on the spine ( in Fig 8.33) is directed approximately straight up and the force exerted by the back muscles ( ) is negligibly small. Find the magnitude of.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
