Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 9AP
A therapist applies a lateral force of 80 N to the forearm at a distance of 25 cm from the axis of rotation at the elbow. The biceps attaches to the radius at a 90° angle and at a distance of 3 cm from the elbow joint center.
a. How much force is required of the biceps to stabilize the arm in this position?
b. What is the magnitude of the reaction force exerted by the humerus on the ulna? (Answers: a. 666.7 N; b. 586.7 N)

If an individual does training with only the right knee extensor muscles, it is common to see increase in strength in knee extension force for the right leg and an increase in strength in the knee extension force of the left leg (although the increase in force is typically not to the same extent as the force increase in the right leg)
a.) True
b.) False
To answer the following questions utilize the attached picture.
A. What muscles are acting on the knee from B to C?
B. What classification of lever is being demonstrated in this exercise?
C. Where is the resistance occurring?
D. Where is the point of force application at the knee?
E. Utilizing the rules of the lever system, how can this exercise be made easier? (You can’t simply remove the cuff)
Look at the elbow joint x-ray. Why is 90° the optimal joint angle for
biceps activation? What would happen during flexion/extension?
