Human Back Model: Force Vector Diagram

Introduction
The ME-7001 Human Structures Set is one part of the PASCO Structures System. The Human
Structures Set can be used as a stand-alone set and it can also be combined with other parts of
the PASCO Structures System. The set includes all of the items necessary to build one each of
the following: Human Arm Model, Human Back Model, Human Leg Model. A Load Cell and
Amplifier Set (PS-2199) can be added to measure compression and tension forces in the human
structure models.
Related Equipment
• Load Cell Amplifier (PS-2198) - Can plug in up to six Load Cells; requires a PASPORT
interface to connect to the USB port of a computer.
• Load Cell and Amplifier Set (PS-2199) - Load Cell Amplifier (PS-2198) with four 100 N
Load Cells (PS-2200).
• 100 N Load Cell (PS-2200) - Strain gauges mounted on a beam with no electronics so a Load
Cell requires a Load Cell Amplifier (PS-2198) or Dual Load Cell Amplifier PS-2206).
• 5 N Load Cell (PS-2201) - Strain gauges mounted on a beam with no electronics so a Load
Cell requires a Load Cell Amplifier or Dual Load Cell Amplifier.
• Displacement Sensor (PS-2205) - A PASPORT Sensor and a digital displacement indicator
designed to measure the deflection of parts of a structure.
• Dual Load Cell Amplifier (PS-2206) - Can plug in one or two Load Cells; requires a
PASPORT interface to connect to the USB port of a computer.

The following diagram shows the force vectors acting on the human back model.
Load Cells

The Load Cells directly measure the forces exerted on the back model. The structure is shown
with two Load Cells measuring the tension in the cords representing lower back muscles. The
experiment can be performed using more Load Cells mounted in place of the Straight
Connectors in the base.
