2. S = P - F

Bones and Muscles. A patient in therapy has a forearm that weighs -20.5N and that lifts a
-112.0N weight. These two forces have direction vertically downward. the only other significant
forces on his forearm come from the biceps muscle (which acts perpendicularly to the forearm) and
the force at the elbow. If the biceps produces a pull of 232 N when the forearm is raised above 43°
the horizontal, find the magnitude and direction of the force that the elbow exerts on the forearm.
(The sum of the elbow force and the biceps force must balance the weight of the arm and the
weight it is carrying, so their vector sum must be 132.5 N, upward.)
Vector addition Given the following vectors:
à = 10mi +20mj
1
= -mi + mj
4
G= 55.2m, 45° South of West
L
10m, 85° East of South
Draw the graphical representation and compute for the x- and y- components and the angle of the
following resultant vectors:
