BIO Bones and Muscles. A physical therapy patient has a forearm that weighs 20.5 N and lifts a 112.0-N weight. These two forces are directed vertically downward. The only other significant forces on this forearm come from the biceps muscle (which acts perpendicular to the forearm) and the force at the elbow. If the biceps produces a pull of 232 N when the forearm is raised 43.0° above the horizontal, find the magnitude and direction of the force that the elbow exerts on the forearm. (The sum of the elbow force and the biceps force must balance the weight of the arm and the weight it is carrying, so their vector sum must be 132.5 N, upward.)

- A student's car stalls right in front of a speed bump while she is on her way to physics class. To pull it over the bump, she ties a cable to her bumper and to a nearby tree, and pulls with a force, F, of 81.0 lbs (360 N) at the midpoint in a perpendicular direction.If θ is 11.0°, what is the size of the force pulling the car in lbsarrow_forwardJamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 293 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (see figure below). If the angle between Jamal's handle and the vertical side is 25.0° and the angle between Dayo's handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0°, what are the tensions in each handle?
