Related to first class lever systems, which of the following is most accurate? a. The point of resistance application lies between the force and the axis. b. They are the most common lever system in the human body. c. They exhibit a force advantage so large weights can be supported or moved by a smaller force. d. The axis of rotation is located between the force and resistance arms. ____ 12. Your patient is performing shoulder flexion from 0 to 180๏‚ฐ in a standing position with his elbow extended while holding a 5-pound weight in his hand. The torque imposed by the 5-pound weight is greatest at ______๏‚ฐ. a. 0 b. 45 c. 90 d. 135 e. 180 ____ 13. The โ€œnormalโ€ force vector is primarily responsible for producing: a. compression b. distraction c. rotation d. tangential motion ____ 14. Assuming a right triangle, to calculate the cosine of theta one should: a. divide the opposite side by the hypotenuse b. divide the adjacent side by the hypotenuse c. divide the adjacent side by the opposite side d. divide the hypotenuse by the adjacent side ____ 15.

The center of gravity of the adult body in the anatomic position is: a. anterior to the border of the 11th thoracic vertebra b. anterior to second sacral vertebra c. just below the xiphoid process of the sternum d. just above the knee joint ____ 18. Archimedesโ€™ principle states that a body submerged in a liquid is buoyed up by a force ___________ the weight of the liquid displaced. a. less than b. equal to c. greater than d. two times ____ 19. Theoretically as it relates to lever arms, sit-ups are most difficult when the arms are positioned __________ of the individual. a. at the side b. on the stomach c. across the chest d. clasped behind the head ____ 20. A person being propelled in a wheelchair is an example of _____________ equilibrium. a. static b. dynamic c. neutral d. stable ____ 21. Which of the following represents the least degree of stability? a. high center of gravity; large base of support b. low center of gravity; large base of support c. high center of gravity; small base of support d. low center of gravity; small base of support ____ 22.

Down and to the left ____ 23. A body is stable when the line of gravity runs __________the center of its base of support. a. above b. next to c. through d. below ____ 24. Using crutches ______________ an individualโ€™s base of support. a. increases b. decreases c. does not alter d. negatively influences ____ 25. Most levers in the body are classified as ___________ class levers. a. first b. second c. third d. fourth True/False Indicate whether the statement is true or false. ____ 26. The terms, โ€œweightโ€ and โ€œmassโ€ are defined the same and may be used interchangeably. ____ 27. Muscles can only produce force on their bony segments when they contract. ____ 28. Vector forces can be combined when more than one force is applied to a body or segment. ____ 29. The resultant force is the simplest force that produces the same effect as all the forces acting together. ____ 30. Whenever the force arm of the muscle working is shorter than the resistance arm of the segment moved by the muscle, the muscle must exert less force to lift the segment. ____ 31. Third class levers, although mechanically inefficient, offer the benefit of a large excursion in range of motion with little or small changes in muscle length. ____ 32. If a torque produces or tends to produce a counterclockwise motion of the coordinate system, the sign is positive. ____ 33. When a body part is positioned and supported to move in a plane perpendicular to the earth, the effects of gravity are reduced so a muscle weaker than 3/5 is able to move a segment. ____ 34. The center of gravity rises when an individual elevates his or her arms overhead. ____ 35. The direction of gravity is always going to be a vertically downward pull from the center of mass toward the center of the earth. ____ 36. In athletics, a large base of support is always advantageous. ____ 37. Force is bidirectional and torque is unidirectional. ____ 38. Small forces imparted to the distal aspect of an extremity (i.e., ankle) create large torques to the proximal joints (i.e., hip). ____ 39. A torqueโ€™s greatest magnitude occurs when the direction of application is at a right angle or 90๏‚ฐ to the segment or extremity. ____ 40. When the body or a body segment moves over a surface, friction also is a torque that affects movement.
