Even when the head is held erect, as in the figure below, its center of mass is not directly over the principal point of support (the atlant-ooccipital joint). The muscles at the back of the neck should therefore exert a force to keep the head erect. That is why your head falls forward when you fall asleep in the class. Calculate the force exerted by these muscles using the information in the figure.
