What is the torque that the static load generates about the elbow joint if the forearm...
The bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) are hinged to the humerus at the elbow. The biceps muscle connects to the bones of the forearm about 2.152.15 cm beyond the joint. Assume the forearm has a mass of 2.252.25 kg and a length of 0.4250.425 m. When the humerus and the biceps are nearly vertical and the forearm is horizontal, if a person wishes to hold an object of mass 7.357.35 kg so that her forearm remains motionless, what...
The bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) are hinged to the humerus at the elbow. The biceps muscle connects to the bones of the forearm about 2.15 cm beyond the joint. Assume the forearm has a mass of 2.25 kg and a length of 0.425 m. When the humerus and the biceps are nearly vertical and the forearm is horizontal, if a person wishes to hold an object of mass 6.15 kg so that her forearm remains motionless, what...
Dan's biceps muscle has a moment arm about the elbow joint of 0.011 m when the joint is held at a joint angle of 90 degrees and can produce a force of 526 N. His forearm is 0.24 m from the elbow joint center to the center of his hand where he grips a handle. His forearm has a mass of 1.2 kg and the center of mass is located directly above the elbow joint. How much force can he...
The diagram above shows a side view of a person’s arm. The forearm and hand together weigh 19N (WFH = 19N). The center of gravity at point T is located 24cm from the elbow joint. The person is holding a bowling ball 38cm from the elbow and the ball weighs 47N (WB = 47N). (a) Calculate the torque produced by the weight of the forearm and hand about the elbow joint. Include the direction of the torque. (b) Calculate the...
Biceps muscle The bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) are hinged to the humerus at the elbow. The biceps muscle connects to the bones of the forearm about 2.15 cm beyond the joint. Assume the forearm has a mass of 2.45 kg and a length of 0.465 m. When the humerus and the biceps are nearly vertical and the forearm is horizontal, if a person wishes to hold an object of mass 5.75 kg so that her forearm remains...
A person with their upper arm vertical and their forearm horizontal holds a 4.5-kg iron cannon ball as shown in the figure below. Assume the mass of the forearm and hand is 1.5 kg, with a center of mass 15 cm from the elbow. The center of the cannonball is 32 cm from the elbow, and the force of the biceps is applied 5.0 cm from the elbow. What force is exerted by the bicep? Elbow contact point 4.5 kg...
3. Leighton is attempting a biceps curl with a 10 kg dumbbell. She is standing upright, and her forearm is horizontal. The moment arm of the dumbbell about Leighton's elbow joint is 28.5 cm a What torque is created by the dumbbell about the elbow joint? b. What torque is created by Leighton's elbow flexor muscles to hold the dumbbell in this position? Ignore the weight of her arm and hand. C. If the elbow flexor muscles contract with a...
Constants A 71.0 kg weight lifter is doing arm raises using a 7.50 kg weight in her hand. Her arm pivots around the elbow joint, starting 40.0 below the horizontal. (See the figure(Figure 1).) Biometric measurements have shown that both forearms and the hands together account for 6.40 % of a person's weight. Since the upper arm is held vertically, the biceps muscle always acts vertically and is attached to the bones of the forearm 5.50 cm from the elbow...
How much force (in N) must the biceps muscle exert when a 25.0 kg mass is held in the hand in a stationary position when the arm is 17.4° below the horizontal? Assume the mass of the forearm is 2.46 kg. Distances relative to the elbow joint are reb = 5.12 cm; recg = 16.5 cm; ren = 37.5 cm where the distances are: eb = elbow—biceps; ecg = elbow—forearm center of gravity; eh = elbow-hand. A marble column 0.890...
Most of the motion generated by joints in the human body are examples of levers. An example of a third class lever is the forearm; the force which generates the motion is located in between the pivot point and the resistance force. The elbow acts as the pivot point, the biceps muscle pulls up on the forearm to move the mass which is held in the hand. Imagine you are holding an object in your hand with your forearm horizontal...
