What is the 'line of gravity' in the human body? * The line connecting the two feet The vertical line passing through the center of gravity The distance between two joints The horizontal line through the shoulders This field is required. 8. Which two forces are needed for 'work' to be done on a lever? * Effort and weight (load) Friction and tension Fulcrum and load Gravity and mass This field is required. 3. How is 'base of support' defined? * The height of the center of gravity above the ground The angle formed at a joint The area on which an object/body is supported The total body weight This field is required. 12. What is the main difference between a fixed pulley and a movable pulley? * Both reduce effort equally Both change direction and neither reduces effort A fixed pulley reduces effort; a movable pulley only changes direction A fixed pulley changes the direction of force; a movable pulley reduces the effort needed (roughly by half) This field is required. 2. In the human body, the center of gravity lies approximately at which level? * S2 vertebral level (around the waist) T12 vertebral level L5 vertebral level C7 vertebral level This field is required. 4. According to the lesson, equilibrium occurs when: * The body moves at a constant high speed Gravity is removed from the body All forces on the body stop acting Forces acting on the body are perfectly balanced and it remains at rest This field is required. 9. Which movement is given as the human-body example of a first-class lever? * Elbow flexion while holding a dumbbell Nodding of the head at the atlanto-occipital joint Standing on toes (heel raise) Kicking a ball This field is required. 10. Why are most levers in the human body classified as third-class levers? * They give the greatest mechanical advantage for lifting heavy loads They only occur in the lower limb They favor speed and range of motion even though mechanical advantage is less than 1 They eliminate the need for any effort This field is required. 6. A plaster cast applied on a fractured ankle is an example of which type of fixation? * Unstable fixation Dynamic fixation Passive fixation Active fixation This field is required. 11. What is the formula for mechanical advantage (MA) of a lever? * MA = Weight arm ÷ Effort arm MA = Effort arm ÷ Weight arm MA = Effort arm + Weight arm MA = Effort arm × Weight arm This field is required. 5. Which of the following is NOT a condition for stable equilibrium? * Line of gravity falling near the center of the base Line of gravity falling outside the base of support Center of gravity as low as possible A large base of support This field is required. 7. How is a 'lever' defined in the lesson? * A muscle that contracts to produce force A flexible rope passing over a grooved wheel A type of joint capsule A rigid bar capable of movement around a fixed point (fulcrum) This field is required.
