Lab 9 Biomechanics

This document describes an experiment using a human back model and load cells to measure the effect of different loads on the back. The objectives are to use load sensors to detect the angle of the back model after applying various loads. Load cells directly measure the forces exerted on the back model. The experiment can be performed using additional load cells mounted in the base of the model. Suggestions are provided to experiment with the back at different angles and loads to determine the effects.

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.

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.

Human Back Model: Extra Equipment

Extra Equipment Model


Large Slotted Mass Set ME-7566 100-N Load Cell PS- Hooked Mass Set SE-8759 Load Cell
2200 (2, 4, 6) Amplifier PS-2198
Suggestions

Experiment with the ‘back’ at different angles and use the Load Cells to measure the tension
in the cord. What is the effect of increasing or decreasing the angle of the ‘back’?

Experiment with the amount of weight attached to the end of the ‘arm’. Does doubling the
weight also double the tension in the cords attached to the Load Cells?
