Transcribed Image Text:**Task: Solve the Problem Using Existing Equations**
**Part D: Solution Overview**
In this section, you are tasked with solving the equations you have developed in Parts A and C to determine the values for \( F_t \), \( F_s \), and \( \theta \).
**Hint:**
- Predicted approximations:
- \( F_t \approx F_s \approx 700 \, N \)
- \( \theta \approx 9^\circ \)
Make sure to utilize the equations from previous steps to find these values accurately. Analyze how variations in the values might affect the overall system and verify your results against the approximations provided.

**Title: Mechanics of the Arm**
The arm in figure P8.7 weighs \( F_g = 41.5 \, \text{N} \). The weight of the arm acts through point A as shown in the diagram.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram presents a horizontal arm with several forces acting on it.
- **Forces:**
- \( \vec{F_g} \): This is the gravitational force acting downward at point A, representing the weight of the arm (41.5 N).
- \( \vec{F_t} \): This force acts at an angle of 12° above the horizontal from point O.
- \( \vec{F_s} \): This force is horizontal and directed leftward from point O.
- **Distances:**
- Distance from point O to the vertical line through point A is 0.290 meters.
- Distance from point O to the point where \( \vec{F_t} \) acts is 0.080 meters.
**Additional Information:**
- The angle \( \theta \) (12°) is marked between \( \vec{F_t} \) and the horizontal line through point O.
- The diagram illustrates the forces and moments acting on the arm, providing a basis for analyzing equilibrium and torque in biomechanics.
