1. The picture shows a heavy ball held in the palm of a hand. The mass of the ball M is 7.5 kg. The lower arm is horizontal and is held by the force from the bicep Biceps muscle in the vertical upper arm. Given that the mass of the lower arm is 2.0 kg, what is the magnitude of (a) the force of the biceps muscle on the lower arm and (b) the force between the bony structures at the elbow Elbow contact contact point? point 4.0 cm Lower arm (forearm plus hand) center 15 cm Draw a free body diagram to indicate all the forces on the lower arm. And write down where is the pivot -33 cm of mass point when you calculate the torque in each part.
In the figure below, the cg of the pole held by the pole vaulter is 2.54 m from the left hand, and the hands are 0.733 m apart. Assume the vaulting pole has a mass of 3.32 kg.)

A lunch tray is being held in one hand, as the figure illustrates. The mass of the tray itself is 0.238 kg, and its center of gravity is located at its geometrical center. On the tray is a 1.21-kg plate of food and a 0.290-kg cup of coffee. Obtain (a) the force exerted by the thumb and (b) the force exerted by the four fingers. Both forces act perpendicular to the tray, which is being held parallel to the ground.
