If your biceps brachii muscle attaches to your forearm 2 inches below your elbow, the distance from the elbow to the palm of your hand is 18 inches, and you lift a 20 pound weight, how much pull must your muscle exert to achieve elbow flexion? If your biceps brachii muscle attaches to your forearm 2 inches below your elbow, the distance from the elbow to the palm of your hand is 18 inches, and you lift a 20 pound weight, how much pull must your muscle exert to achieve elbow flexion?

E = Fulcrum
Weight of forearm = 1.8 kgs
L = Load
Biceps brachii

Distance of center of mass of forearm from elbow = 17 cm
Distance of tendon from elbow = 4 cm
A) Draw the free-body diagram to represent the forces and moments
Load (L) = weight of
object plus forearm
B) Write the torque equation for static equilibrium
Fulcrum (F) = elbow joint

- Explain the answer biomechanicallyarrow_forwardThe adjacent diagram displays the joint reaction force between the acetabulum and femoral head for the right leg during single leg stance. Also shown are the abductor muscle force (AMF), the weight of the body above the level of the stance hip (W) and their corresponding moment arms with respect to the joint centre (D and D1). If the right leg weighs 1/6 of total body weight, the ratio of D1 to D is 2.4, and AMF is angled at 30 degrees relative to the vertical, calculate the: Abductor muscle force (2 marks). Hip joint reaction force (2 marks). Express both answers as multiples of total body weightarrow_forwardA) Describe the difference between strength and power during a squat. Provide a quantitative example that illustrates the difference. B) During a squat, the weight you have on your shoulders has a certain amount of gravitational potential energy. As you squat down and come to a stop at the bottom of the squat, some of that energy is lost. Where does it go?arrow_forward
- < The three main forces that act on the patella are shown on the diagram of the knee joint below. These forces are the quadriceps muscle force (FQ), the patella ligament force (FPL), and the patellofemoral joint reaction force (FPF). The angles a and ẞ are with respect to a line that is perpendicular to FPF. Assuming a = 15°, ẞ = 20°, and FQ = 3725 N, use equations for static equilibrium to calculate (a) FPL, and (b) FPF. (Hint: To solve this problem consider using a coordinate system that is aligned with the principal axes of the patella instead of the usual vertical and horizontal axes). (c) Many people assume FQ and FPL are always equal in magnitude but this is only true under certain circumstances. Under what conditions are FQ and FPL equal in magnitude?

In both lifts, the knee extensor torque is 100 Nm, requiring quadriceps tendon/patella ligament forces of 1000 N (about 220 Ibs).
