The forearm is used to accelerate a 1.2 kg ball by using the triceps muscle as shown in the figure. The forearm has a mass of 3.7 kg and rotates like a uniform rod about an axis at one end. The ball is accelerated uniformly from rest to 9.0 m/s in a time of 0.45 s, when it is released.    Part A Calculate the angular acceleration of the arm.       Part B Calculate the force that the triceps muscle must exert to provide the necessary acceleration in part A.
