When you lift an object by moving only your forearm, the main lifting muscle in your arm is the biceps. Suppose the mass of a forearm with hand is 1.60 kg. If the biceps is connected to the forearm a distance of 2.4 cm from the elbow, how much force must the biceps exert to hold a 42 N ball at the end of the forearm at distance of 36.0 cm from the elbow, with the forearm parallel to the floor, in Newtons? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
- 5. Two identical, uniform beams of length 3 m and weighing 260 N each are connected at one end by a frictionless hinge. A light horizontal crossbar, attached at the midpoints of the beams maintains an angle 50° between the beams. The beams are suspended from the ceiling by vertical wires so they form a V. See figure. (a) What force does the crossbar exert on each beam? (b) Is the crossbar under compression or tension, i.e. are the ends of the crossbar being pushed together or stretched farther apart? (c) What force (magnitude and direction) does the hinge exert on each beam? Crossbar Hinge
During most of the stance phase of the gait, the knee flexion is less than 20º. What force must the quadriceps muscle apply to maintain this flexion while standing on one leg? The patient's weight is 836N, assuming that the distance from the center of the joint to the line of gravity is 5 cm and the distance perpendicular to the center of the joint towards which the muscle acts is 5 cm, and the muscle acts ( pull) at 60º to the horizontal.

3) To strengthen his arm and chest muscles, a 6-slug athlete who is 6'6" tall is doing push-ups as shown in the figure below. His centre of mass is 3'9" from the bottom of his feet, and the centres of his palms are one foot from the top of his head. Find the force that the floor exerts on each of his feet and on each hand, assuming that both feet exert the same force and both palms do likewise. Begin with a free-body diagram of the athlete. 6'6" K–1'-
