A 59-kg woman holds a 8-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of 0.22g. Determine the force R which the elevator floor exerts on her feet and the lifting force L which she exerts on the package during the acceleration interval. If the elevator support cables suddenly and completely fail, what values would R and L acquire?

Two individuals, Ann and Lisa, are both holding a 10kg weight stationary in their hand with their forearm at a 90-degree angle to their body. Their bicep muscles generate similar force when they contract. Ann’s forearm is 18 cm long and her bicep inserts 3 cm from her elbow joint. Melissa’s forearm is 20 cm long and her bicep muscle inserts 4 cm from her elbow joint. Whose bicep needs to generate more force to hold the weight stationary? Explain your answer. Assuming their muscles contract at the same rate, who could move the weight the fastest? Explain your answer.
