The lubrication of bone joints is a subject of ongoing medical research. two bones connected at a joint do not touch. the bones are covered in articular cartilage, and are surrounded by lubricating synovial fluid. rheumatoid arthritis results in overproduction of synovial fluid, swollen joints, and difficult and painful movement. other joint disorders degrade the synovial fluid, directly increasing the friction between the bones, resulting in painful motion.

part a

to measure the effective coefficient of friction in a bone joint, a healthy joint (and its immediate surroundings) can be removed from a fresh cadaver. the joint is inverted, and a weight is used to apply a downward force

Two 1.20-m nonconducting wires meet at a right angle. one segment carries + 2.50 µc of charge distributed uniformly along its length, and the other carries - 2.50 µc distributed uniformly along it, as shown in fig. 21.50. ( a. find the magnitude and direction of the electric field these wires produce at point p, which is 60.0 cm from each wire. ( b. if an electron is released at p, what are the magnitude and direction of the net force that these wires exert on it?

The great sandini is a 60.0-kg circus performer who is shot from a cannon (actually a spring gun). you don’t find many men of his caliber, so you him design a new gun. this new gun has a very large spring with a very small mass and a force constant of 1100 n/m that he will compress with a force of 4400 n. the inside of the gun barrel is coated with teflon, so the average friction force will be only 40.0 n during the 4.00 m he moves in the barrel. at what speed will he emerge from the end of the barrel, 2.50 m above his initial rest position?
