When you hold your arm outstretched, it's supported primarily by the deltoid muscle. The given figure shows a case in which the deltoid exerts a 67 N force at 15 degrees to the horizontal. If the force-application point is 18 cm horizontally from the shoulder joint, what torque does the deltoid exert about the shoulder?
torque = rF(perpendicular)
r = 0.18m
F = 67N
F(perp) = 67*sin(15)
torque = (0.18)(67*sin(15))
= 3.12Nm
When you hold your arm outstretched, it's supported primarily by the deltoid muscle.
You are able to hold your arm in an outstretched position
because of the deltoid muscle. The force diagram for this is shown
below. Assume that the weight of the humerus is 8 lb (with a center
of gravity as shown), and that the deltoid muscle makes an angle of
α = 18 degrees to the humerus.
What is the magnitude of the tension in the deltoid muscle? What
is the magnitude of the force F at the joint?

3. The figure shows an outstretched arm with a mass of 4.2 kg. The arm is 56 cm long, and its center of gravity is 21 cm from the shoulder. The hand at the end of the arm hold a mass of 6.0 kg. (a) What is the torque about the shoulder due to the weights of the arm and the 6.0 kg mass? (b) If the arm is held in position by the deltoid muscle, whose force on the...
Deltoid muscle Fig. 1a Problem #2.1 You are able to hold your arm in an outstretched position because of the deltoid muscle. The force diagram for this is shown in Fig. 1b. Use the equilibrium conditions to determine the tension T in the deltoid muscle needed to achieve this equilibrium, and the vertical and horizontal components of the force exerted by the scapula (shoulder blade)on the humerus. Assume the weight of the humerus is 36.0 N and the deltoid muscle...
You are able to hold out your arm in an outstretched horizontal position because of the action of the deltoid muscle. Assume the humerus bone has a mass M1=3.6kg, length L=0.66m and its center of mass is a distance L1=0.33m from the scapula. (For this problem ignore the rest of the arm.) The deltoid muscle attaches to the humerus a distance L2=0.15m from the scapula. The deltoid muscle makes an angle of ?=17? with the horizontal, as shown. (Figure 1)...
An outstretched arm is holding an apple with a mass of
150 g, as shown in the figure above. The arm is 30 degrees below
the
horizontal, and the apple is held 27 cm from the shoulder joint.
What is the torque around the shoulder joint caused by the apple?

The total mass of the arm shown in (Figure 1) is 3.5 kg . The
location of the center of mass of the arm is shown, FM is the force
exerted by the deltoid muscle on the upper arm, and FJ is the
normal force from the shoulder joint on the upper arm.
Part A

A woman lifts a 3.6-kg barbell in each hand with her arm in a
horizontal position at the side of her body and holds it there for
3 s (see the figure below).
What force does the deltoid muscle in her shoulder exert on the
humerus bone while holding the barbell? The deltoid attaches 13 cm
from the shoulder joint and makes a 13? angle with the humerus. The
barbell in her hand is 0.55 m from the shoulder joint,...

The figure below shows a human arm that weighs 39.3 N. The arm
is extended outward and is motionless. The gravitational force
Fg
on the arm acts at point A, a distance of 0.290 m from
the shoulder joint, which is represented by point O. The
shoulder pushes down and to the right on the humerus bone of the
arm with a force
Fs
at point O, at an angle θ as shown. The
deltoid muscle pulls back on the...
