Question

This a not graded assignment, it is a question on a practice exam.

Please do question 5.

When you lift an object by moving only your forearm, the main lifting muscle in your arm is the
biceps. Suppose the mass of a forearm is 1.50 kg. If the biceps is connected to the forearm a distance
dviceps = 3.00 cm from the elbow, how much force Fbiceps must the biceps exert to hold a 1.00 kg
ball at the end of the forearm at a distance dball = 34.0 cm from the elbow, with the forearm parallel
to the floor? How much force Felbow must the elbow exert?
