Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 4AP
A hand exerts a force of 90 N on a scale at 32 cm from the joint center at the elbow. If the triceps attach to the ulna at a 90° angle and at a distance of 3 cm from the elbow joint center, and if the weight of the forearm and hand is 40 N with the hand/forearm CG located 17 cm from the elbow joint center, how much force is being exerted by the triceps? (Answer: 733.3 N)

Students have asked these similar questions
Two lifter's knees are of interest at a specific moment in their lifts. In both lifts,
the knee extensor torque is 100 Nm, requiring quadriceps tendon/patella
ligament forces of 1000 N (about 220 Ibs). Despite equivalent knee torques and
quadriceps forces, patellofemoral joint forces are higher on the knees of lifter A.
Briefly explain why.

If your biceps brachii muscle attaches to your forearm 2 inches below your elbow, the distance from the elbow to the palm of your hand is 18 inches, and you lift a 20 pound weight, how much pull must your muscle exert to achieve elbow flexion? If your biceps brachii muscle attaches to your forearm 2 inches below your elbow, the distance from the elbow to the palm of your hand is 18 inches, and you lift a 20 pound weight, how much pull must your muscle exert to achieve elbow flexion?

10cm in the trapezius muscle, how much time does the person need to feel pain in the
muscle? How much time is needed to injure or damage the muscle? Must show every
mathematical process.
