Determine the force (Newtons) of biceps brachii for each elbow positions given that the weight of the forearm & hands is 1.5kg at 0.15m from the elbow joint. Please show your solutions. Sample solution was provided for 30 degrees. 

Elbow Angles Horizontal Distance of the weight of forear, (dx COG in meters)

Force of Biceps Brachii

(in Newtons)

30o

dx = (sin30o)(0.15m)

dxCOG = 0.075 m

τ = (Fbiceps)(dx_biceps)+(FCOG)(dx_COG)

τ = (Fbiceps)(0.03m)+(1.5kg)(-9.8m/s2)(0.075m)

τ = equal to zero since the system is in statics

0 = (Fbiceps)(0.03m)+(1.5kg)(-9.8m/s2)(0.075m)

Fbiceps = 36.75N
