As a swimmer pulls his arm through the water, various muscles exert forces on the upper arm. The figure below shows a force F exerted on the humerus (upper arm bone) by the pectoral muscle. The muscle is connected to the bone d = 7.10 cm from the center point O of the shoulder joint. Find the magnitude of F, if this force's torque on the arm provides half of the total torque balancing the torque produced by the water pushing against the hand. (Let Fhand = 108 and D = 33.0 cm. )

While on a camping trip, a man would like to carry water from the lake to his campsite. He fills two, non-identical buckets with water and attaches them to a 1.51 m long rod. Since the buckets are not identical, he finds that the rod balances about a point located at a length I 0.0367 m from its midpoint, as shown. The weight of the rod and empty buckets is negligible compared to the weight of the water, and the buckets are not shown to scale. Which bucket holds more water? bucket 2 1 bucket 1 They hold the same amount of water. How much more water does the heavier bucket contain, expressed as a percentage? percentage:
