Can you please work this problem out the way its described in the problem and using the units kg and cm (Like the problem asks) rather than in Newtons and Meters?
Calculate the magnitude of the resultant joint force at L5/S1 joint for the stoop lift. The worker has a height of 2.0 meters and a mass of 88 kg . The box has a mass of 10 kg .
- Assume that the back extensor muscle (F_m) has a line of action parallel to and 5 cm posterior (on the back side) to the trunk.
- Assume the hands are at the center of the box.
- Use the following masses and center of mass (COM) locations to calculate the moment at the L5/S1 joint
- Note: the body masses and COM positions for the parts of the body are not in kg or cm . They are \% of the whole body mass/\% away from L5/S1 joint. You need to convert these percentages to kg and cm .
- For example, to find body mass for the trunk, you use Worker Body Mass *\% of body mass (for trunk)
- To find COM position, you take (length of trunk *\% length from major joint)
- Only consider the FBD and forces for one arm. Assume each arm holds half of the box weight mentioned above
Length of the trunk is 0.52 m
Length of the upper arm is 0.33 m
Length of the forearm is 0.26 m
Answer the questions on the following page
1. Draw a FBD to solve this problem - consider one arm only
2. Find the COM distances (\( x \) distances only) for
a. Trunk
b. Upper arm
c. Lower/forearm arm
3. Find the masses of the
a. Trunk
b. Upper arm
c. Lower/forearm arm
4. Calculate the back extensor muscle force (\(\mathrm{F}_{-}\mathrm{m}\))
5. Calculate the resultant joint force for the L5/S1 joint (F_B).
a. To find the results form, find the x and y components of the reaction force at the L5/S1 and use the equation
\[
F_{B}=\sqrt{F_{x}{}^{2}+F_{y}{}^{2}}
\]
