The figure below shows a human arm that weighs 41.10 N. The arm is extended outward and is motionless. The gravitational force Fg on the arm acts at point A, a distance of 0.2900 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 ? as shown. The deltoid muscle pulls back on the arm toward the shoulder with a tension force Ft. This tension force acts at a point 0.08000 m to the right of point O, and it is directed up and to the left, at a 12.00° angle with respect to the horizontal. An arm is extending horizontally to the right with a cutout that shows muscles in the upper arm. A horizontal dashed line extends along the bottom of the muscles and another along the top. Point O is labeled at the left end of the arm on the lower horizontal line. An unlabeled point lies 0.080 m horizontally to the right of point O.
