A person is holding a mass of 13 kg in their
hand in equilibrium. One can picture this as
the forearm being a thin uniform rod with a
mass of 2.5 kg and length of 36 cenitimeters
(the hand is at the end of the rod). The bicep
exerts a force on the forearm at an angle of
say 60 degrees exerted on a point 7
centimeters from the elbow. There are also
forces on the elbow itself (in the x and y
direction). What is the magnitude of the
total force exerted on the elbow in
Newtons?
