The diagram above represents an object held in static equilibrium by three cables. If F1 = 460 Newtons and F2 = 580 Newtons, what should the magnitude of F3 be? number unit F1 is at a height 2.7 meters above the center of mass, while F2 goes directly through the center of mass. How far up should F3 be from the middle of the object in order to balance the torque?

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.
An athlete holds a 7.5-kg shot put in his hand with his lower arm horizontal, as shown in thefigure. His lower arm has a mass of 2.8 kg and its center of gravity (or center of mass) is 12 cmfrom the elbow-joint pivot.

A hiker who has broken his forearm rigs a temporary sling using a cordstretching from his shoulder to his hand. The cord holds the forearmlevel and makes an angle of 40.0° with the horizontal where it attachesto the hand. Considering the forearm and hand to be uniform, with atotal mass of 1.30 kg and a length of 0.300 m, find (a) the tension inthe cord and (b) the horizontal and vertical components of the force, f>,exerted by the humerus (the bone of the upper arm) on the radius andulna (the bones of the forearm).
A 3-meter rod with a weight of 1000 N is suspended by two cables and has a large box(3500N in weight ) tied to the right-hand side hanging vertically. The center of mass of the rod is .5min from the leftmost edge. One cable is exactly on the leftmost end of the rod with a tension of4000 N at an angle of 30 degrees to the rod . The second cable is 1 m to the right of the center ofmass and has an unknown tension. What is the tension in the second cable and what angledoes it make with the rod? You must draw a diagram so I can understand your answer.
