ESS 303 – Biomechanics Levers and Joints
Lever Components • Lever • Fulcrum • Effort • Resistance • MAE: Moment Arm of Effort • MAR: Moment Arm of Resistance • Three types of levers
MAE MAR Levers (Type I) E R F
MAR MAE Levers (Type II) E R F
MAE MAR Levers (Type III) R E F
Equilibrium of a Lever Formula • E * MAE = R * MAR • Question: Two children are sitting on opposite sided of a balanced sea-saw. One child’s body mass is 50 Kilograms and he/she is seated 1.5 meters from the fulcrum. How far from the fulcrum is the other child if his/her body mass is 40 Kilograms? • Answer: 50 Kg * 1.5 M = 40 Kg * X M • X = 1.875 Meters
Articulations • Synarthrodial (Sutures of skull) • Amphiarthrodial (Between vertebrae) • Diarthrodial (Common)
Joints • Articulations • Connection point between two bones • Six basic types of joints in the body
