Top Questions on Muscle
- A person creates an apparatus as shown in the figure to exercise the extensor muscle of the hand. It is given that OP = 0.15 m, OQ = 0.35 m, θ = 30°, the weight of the lower arm = 20 N, the center of mass of the lower arm is at point P, the magnitude of the applied tensile force F = 50 N. If the extensor muscle is acting with a moment arm of 0.25 m, the muscle force required to hold the hand at the position shown in the figure is ______ N. Give your answer rounded off to the nearest integer.

- Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : The potential (V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance(r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector \(\vec{P}\) of magnitude, 4 × 10-6 C m, is ± 9 × 103 V.
(Take \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9\) SI units)
Reason R : \(V=±\frac{2P}{4\pi \epsilon_0r^2}\), where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.
