The bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) are hinged to the humerus at the elbow. The biceps muscle connects to the bones of the forearm about 2.15 cm beyond the joint. Assume the forearm has a mass of 2.35 kg and a length of 0.445 m.When the humerus and the biceps are nearly vertical and the forearm is horizontal, if a person wishes to hold an object of mass 4.95 kg so that her forearm remains motionless, what is the force exerted by the biceps muscle?

A 12.2 m long board is supported from beneath at two locations. One is at the far left end of the board. The other is 1 m from the right end of the board. The board has a mass of 39.3 kg. What is the normal force (in newtons) applied by the right support?
The drawing shows a uniform horizontal beam attached to a vertical wall by a frictionless hinge and supported from below at an angle 0 = 40° by a brace that is attached to a pin. The beam has a weight of 340 N. Three additional forces keep the beam in equilibrium. The brace applies a force P, and the hinge applies a force with a horizontal component H and a vertical component V. (a) Draw the free- body diagram showing the forces that act on the beam. Find the magnitudes of the forces (b) P, (c) H, and (d) V. Beam Hinge Pin Ꮎ Brace E

Two children push on opposite sides of a door during play. Both push horizontally and perpendicular to the door. One child pushes with a force of 12.5 N at a distance of 0.750 m from the hinges, and the second child pushes at a distance of 0.550 m. What force must the second child exert to keep the door from moving? (assume friction is negligible)
A beam with length of 2 m and a mass of 10 kg supports a 50 kg box. The beam is connected to a wall by a hinge at its base and a horizontal wire. The wire is connected to the beam 1.5 m from the hinge and makes an angle θ of 35o to the beam. The goal is to find the tension in the wire and the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the hinge on the board. Suppose the maximum tension that the wire can withstand is 1500 N. What is the maximum load that the hinge can support before the wire breaks?
