A crustacean (Hemisquilla ensigera) rotates its anterior limb to strike a mollusk, intending to break it open. The limb reaches an angular velocity of 175 rad/s in 1.50 ms. We can approximate the limb as a thin rod rotating about an axis perpendicular to one end (the joint where the limb attaches to the crustacean). If the mass of the limb is 28.0 g, the length is 3.80 cm, and the extensor muscle is 3.00 mm from the joint and acts perpendicular to the limb, what is the muscular force required to achieve the blow?
