When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed,the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates aforce of 37.5 N and it is acting with an effective lever armof 2.15 cm, what is the torque that the muscle produces onthe wrist?torque =N.mPalmaris longusmuscleabout uscareersprivacy policyterms of usecontact ushelp2tvWMacBook Air

Two muscles create tension simultaneously on opposite sides of a joint. Muscle X, attaching 4 cm from the axis of rotation at the joint, exerts 336 N of force. Muscle Y, attaching 3.8 cm from the joint axis, exerts 293 N of force. How much torque is created at the joint by each muscle? What is the net torque created at the joint? In which direction will motion at the joint occur?

As a swimmer pulls his arm through the water, various muscles exert forces on the upper arm. The figure below shows a force F exerted on the humerus (upper arm bone) by the pectoral muscle. The muscle is connected to the bone d = 7.30 cm from the center point O of the shoulder joint. Find the magnitude of F, if this force's torque on the arm provides half of the total torque balancing the torque produced by the water pushing against the hand. (Let Fhand = 119and D = 33.0 cm. )
1. To tighten a bolt, you push with a force of 100 Nat the end of the wrench handle that is0.5 m from the axis of the bolt. (a) What torque are you exerting? (0.5M)(100N) = 50n/m of Torque (b) If you move your hand inward to be only 0.2 m from the bolt, how much force do youneed to exert to achieve the same torque? (0.8M)(100N) = 80n/m-50n/m = 30n/m more (c) Do your answers depend on the direction of your push relative to the direction of thewrench handle? Yes (90 degrees) perpendicular
