Figure 12.58 shows a person pulling down on a rope with a 50 N modulus force. The forearm is pointed at 30 ° from the horizontal. The triceps (the muscle that flexes the elbow) is fixed 1.2 cm from the joint and exerts a vertical force. It is assumed that the forearm is a homogeneous bar of negligible thickness, mass 2 kg and length 30 cm.
