QUESTION 6 The footy show have decided to run a strongman competition where each contestant must hold a six-pack of beer in each hand with their arms horizontal to the ground (i.e. arms horizontally out to the side). The contestant who maintains this position the longest will be declared the winner. For this competition, indicate which of the follwing statements is correct. a. None of the statements are correct. b. The person with the shortest arms, and therefore the shortest moment arm lengths will win. C. To be fairer, each competitor should have varying weighted six-packs that are matched to their arm lengths so that the torque resistance is equal for each competitor. d. Competitors may cheat by holding…
