Answer:

Explanation:

Here x := distance between the line of force of block and the force of 250 N.

'pivot point' is in the woman's waist s meters from force of 250 N.

M(back)  - 250 s - 60 ( s + x ) = 0

∴  M(back) = 250 s + 60 ( s + x)

Let the spring constant of muscles is k.

Distance from waist to the point of max tension in the back muscles is d.

Tension(T) and compression(c) will be

T = M(back) / d = 250 s + 60 ( s + x)/ d

c = T/k = 250 s + 60 ( s + x)/ kd
