- A 50 N hand and forearm are held at a 35° angle to the vertically oriented humerus. The CG of the forearm and hand is located at a distance of 12.5 cm from the joint center at the elbow, and the elbow flexor muscles attach at an average distance of 2.5 cm from the joint center. (Assume that the muscles attach at an angle of 35° to the forearm bones.) How much force must be exerted by the forearm flexors to maintain this position?arrow_forwardA man holds a 171-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 M , which is applied perpendicular to the forearm. The forearm weighs 24.3 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.

The crane is 16 m long and is not uniform, its center of gravity being 7.0 m from the axle as measured along the crane. The cable is attached 3.0 m from the upper end of the crane. 1. When the crane is raised to 55∘ above the horizontal holding an 11,000 N pallet of bricks by a 2.2 m very light cord, find the tension in the cable. 2. Find the horizontal component of the force that the axle exerts on the crane. 3. Find the vertical component of the force that the axle exerts on the crane.arrow_forward

You can also use this exercise position to locate your center of gravity. Holding plank position with a scale under his toes and another under his forearms, one athlete measured that 66.0% of his weight was supported by his forearms and 34.0% by his toes. (That is, the total normal forces on his forearms and toes were 0.660w and 0.340w, respectively, where w is the athlete’s weight.) He is 1.80 m tall, and in plank position the distance from his toes to the middle of his forearms is 1.53 m. How far from his toes is his center of gravity?arrow_forwardA man holds a 164-N ball in his hand, with the forearm horizontal (see the figure).
