Question
When a gymnast weighing 740 N executes the iron cross as in figure (a), the primary muscles involved in supporting this
position are the latissimus dorsi ("lats") and the pectoralis major ("pecs"). The rings exert an upward force on the arms and
support the weight of the gymnast. The force exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm is labeled F while the two muscles
exert a total force F on the arm. Determine the magnitude of the force F Note that one ring supports half the weight of
the gymnast, which is w 370 N as indicated in figure (b). Assume that the force F acts at an angle of 45° below the
horizontal at a distance of 4.0 cm from the shoulder joint. In your estimate, take the distance from the shoulder joint to the
hand to be L = 75 cm and ignore the weight of the arm.
