Hi I needed help with this. An athlete with a mass of 53.5 kg is doing pushups as shown in the figure below. The value for rW⊥ is 1.00 m and the value for rR⊥ is 1.60 m. (a) Assuming she moves upward at a constant speed, determine the force she must exert on the floor with each hand to do a push-up.(b) The triceps muscle in the back of her upper arm with an effective lever arm of rT⊥ = 1.70 cm, as shown in the figure below, and she exerts force on the floor a horizontal distance of r 'R⊥ = 2.05 cm from the elbow joint. Determine the force in the triceps muscle.In order to appreciate the strength of the triceps, determine the ratio of the force in the tricep muscle to her weight (in decimal form). FT/W = ?
