2. A person is holding a weight (100 N) in their hand. The weight is a distance of 0.3 meters from the center of rotation of the elbow.
- If the forearm is parallel to the ground, what is the torque about the elbow due to the weight?
- If the forearm has an angle of 30° above the horizontal (hand is higher than elbow), what is the torque about the elbow due to the weight?
c. If an elbow flexor muscle has a moment arm of 0.030 m about the elbow, what force must it generate to hold the forearm at an angle of 50° above the horizontal with the weight in the hand (ignoring the weight of the forearm)?

2. Bill is holding a 12 kg barbell in his hand. His upper arm is perpendicular to the ground, and his elbow is flexed to produce a 40º angle at the elbow joint. His forearm has a mass of 12 kg. The distance from the elbow joint to the weight in his hand is 35 cm. The center of mass (COM) of his forearm is located 14 cm from the elbow joint. Draw a free body diagram of this scenario....

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...

A man holds a 182-N ball in his hand, with the forearm horizontal (see the figure). He can support the ball in this position because of the flexor muscle force M, which is applied perpendicular to the forearm. The forearm weighs 19.3 N and has a center of gravity as indicated. Find (a) the magnitude of and the (b) magnitude and (c) direction (as a positive angle counterclockwise from horizontal) of the force applied by the upper arm bone to...

Draw a FBD of a person who is holding a 9 pound weight in her hand. Her shoulder is abducted to 90o, her forearm is fully extended and her wrist is at neutral. The weight of her upper extremity (UE) is 11.1 pounds. The center of gravity of the 9 pound weight is 22.5 inches from the axis of rotation. The center of gravity of her UE is 8.75 inches distal to the axis of rotation. The deltoid muscle, which...

An athlete is measuring the force by their flexor muscle by pulling a rope horizontally at a constant force. While pulling the rope the muscle applies a force on the forearm an angle of 71° as shown in the diagram. While keeping your forearm completely vertical, the tension in the rope is at 185N. The athlete's muscle is attached to the forearm 5 cm from the elbow joint and that the weight of your forearm is 22 N with a...
