A person places his hand palm downward on a scale and pushes down on the scale until it reads 96.0 N. The triceps muscle is responsible for this arm extension force. Find the force exerted by the triceps muscle. The bottom of the triceps muscle is 2.50 cm to the left of the elbow joint, and the palm is pushing at approximately 29.0 cm to the right of the elbow joint.

In order to lift a shovelful of dirt, a gardener pushes downward on the end of the shovel and pulls upward at distance l2 from the end, as shown below. The weight of the shovel is mg and acts at the point os application of F2 . Calculate the magnitudes of the forces F1 and F2 as functions of l1 , l2 , mg, and the weight W of the load. Why do your answers not depend on the angle that shovel makes with the horizontal?
The forearm shown below is positioned at an angle with respect to the upper arm , and a 5.0- kg mass is held in the hand. The total mass of the forearm and hand is 3.0 kg, and their center of mass is 15.0 cm from the elbow. (a) What is the magnitude of the force that the biceps muscle exerts on the forearm for =60 ? (b) What is the magnitude of the force on the elbow joint for the same angle? (c) How do these forces depend on the angle ?
When tightening a bolt, you push perpendicularly on a wrench with a force of 165N at a distance of 0.140m from the center of the bolt. How much torque are you exerting relative to the center of the bolt?
In order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tee 15 m away as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 400 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.30 m, as shown. What is the force of the rope on the car?
Find the tension T in the deltoid muscle. Using the conditions for static equilibrium, find the magnitude of the vertical component of the force Fy exerted by the scapula on the humerus (where the humerus attaches to the rest of the body). Now find the magnitude of the horizontal component of the force Fx exerted by the scapula on the humerus.
The biceps muscle exerts a muscle force of 1000N on the forearm, as per below. The muscle force acts at an angle of 30deg to the forearm. How large are the horizontal and vertical components of this force that holds the forearm in place?
