Arm torque A horizontally outstretched arm supports a weight of 20 Ib in a hand (see figure). If the distance from the shoulder to the elbow is 1 ft and the distance from the elbow to the hand is 1 ft, find the magnitude and describe the direction of the torque about (a) the shoulder and (b) the elbow. (The units of torque in this case are ft-lb.) -1 ft- -1 ft- F
