ney:
Load (L) = 5 kgs
= Effort
E = Fulcrum
Weight of forearm = 1.8 kgs
L = Load
Biceps brachii
muscle
Distance of load from elbow joint = 35 cm
%3D
Effort (E) = contraction
of biceps brachii
Distance of center of mass of forearm from elbow = 17 cm
Distance of tendon from elbow = 4 cm
A) Draw the free-body diagram to represent the forces and moments
Load (L) = weight of
object plus forearm
B) Write the torque equation for static equilibrium
Fulcrum (F) = elbow joint
If your biceps brachii muscle attaches to your forearm 2 inches below your elbow, the distance from the elbow to the palm of your hand is 18 inches, and you lift a 20 pound weight, how much pull must your muscle exert to achieve elbow flexion? If your biceps brachii muscle attaches to your forearm 2 inches below your elbow, the distance from the elbow to the palm of your hand is 18 inches, and you lift a 20 pound weight, how much pull must your muscle exert to achieve elbow flexion?
hhh
Maximal muscle force changes continuously throughout the elbow flexion according to the joint angle.

- Two lifter's knees are of interest at a specific moment in their lifts. In both lifts, the knee extensor torque is 100 Nm, requiring quadriceps tendon/patella ligament forces of 1000 N (about 220 Ibs). Despite equivalent knee torques and quadriceps forces, patellofemoral joint forces are higher on the knees of lifter A. Briefly explain why.
