Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 7AP
In the nucleus pulposus of an intervertebral disc, the compressive load is 1.5 times the externally applied load. In the annulus fibrosus, the compressive force is 0 5 times the external load. What are the compressive loads on the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus of the L5-S1 intervertebral disc of a 930-N man holding a 445-N weight bar across his shoulders, given that 37% of body weight is distributed above the disc? (Answer: 1183.7 N acts on the nucleus pulposus; 394.5 N acts on the annulus fibrosus.)

Determine the angle of the shoulder if the torso angle is 88\deg and the upper-arm angle is -125\deg. This answer is
this 33\deg BUT how do you calculate this to get that answer??
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.

at 3 cm from the center of rotation at the elbow joint, to support a weight of 200 N held
in the hand at a distance of 30 cm from the elbow joint? (Neglect the weight of the
forearm and hand, and neglect any action of other muscles)
