During a bicep curl on a bicep curl machine, I'm curling a weight stack of 100 pounds (single arm...I'm jacked like that). At this very moment, the weight stack has a moment arm of 0.12m, my elbow has an angle of 63deg, my muscle force vector has an angle of 23deg, and it attaches 3cm below my elbow joint on my radius. How much force must my bicep create right at this moment to hold the weight stack in place?

A horizontal rod of length L= 9.64 m is attached to an axel in such a way that the axel is located at its left end. Three forces are acting on the rod: F1= 11.6N at the location 2.59 m from the axel, F2 = 15.7 N at the location 5.02 m from the axel, and F3 =15.0 N at the laction 2.31 m from the axel. F1 (pointing up and to the right) makes an angel of 47.7 degrees with the rod, F2 (pointing up and to the left) makes an angel of 45.1 with the rod, and F3 points directly downwards. Calculate the net torque that these three forces exert on the rod. Also, indicate if the torque is clockwise it counter-clockwise.
