Question
A man holds a 179-N ball in his hand, with the forearm horizontal (see the figure). He can support the ball in this position
because of the flexor muscle force , which is applied perpendicular to the forearm. The forearm weighs 20.3 N and has a
center of gravity as indicated. Find (a) the magnitude of M and the (b) magnitude and (c) direction (as a positive angle
counterclockwise from horizontal) of the force applied by the upper arm bone to the forearm at the elbow joint.
