The Achilles tendon inserts on the calcaneus (the heel bone) at a distance of 8 cm from the axis of the ankle joint. If the force generated by the muscles attached to the Achilles tendon is 3000 N, and the moment arm of this force about the ankle joint is 5 cm, what torque is created by these muscles about the ankle joint? Hopefully it’s enough torque to move out of the way so the arrow doesn’t shoot through the tendon.

A capstan is a device used on old sailing ships to raise the anchor. A sailor pushes the long lever, turning the capstan and winding up the anchor rope. If the capstan turns at a constant speed, the net torque on it, is zero. The rope tension due to the weight of the anchor is 1500 N. The distance from the axis to the point on the lever where the sailor pushes is seven times the radius of the capstan around which the rope is wound.With what force must the sailor push in order to turn the capstan at a constant speed, meaning that the net torque on the capstan is zero?
When you hold an ball by only your forearm, the main lifting muscle in your arm is the biceps. Suppose the mass of a forearm with hand is 1.80 kg. The biceps is connected to the forearm a distance of 2.50 cm from the elbow, and it holds a 44.5 N (about 10 lbs) ball at the end of the forearm at distance of 35.0 cm from the elbow. What is the magnitude of the torque about the elbow by the ball, in N·m? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
