- Torque and the Two Conditions for Equilibrium 17. The arm in Figure P8.17 weighs 41.5 N. The force of gravity acting on the arm acts through point A. Determine the magnitudes of the tension force Ft, in the deltoid muscle and the force Fs exerted by the shoulder on the humerus (upper-arm bone) to hold the arm in the position shown. Figure P8.17arrow_forwardThe Iron Cross When a gymnast weighing 750 N executes the iron cross as in Figure lN.91a, the primary muscles involved in supporting this position are the latissimus dorsi (lats") and the pectoralis major (pecs"). The rings exert an upward force on the aims and support the weight of the gymnast. The force exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm is labeled Fs, while the two muscles exert a total force Fw on the arm. Estimate the magnitude of the force Fw. Note that one ring supports half the weight of the gymnast, which is 375 N as indicated in Figure P8.91b. Assume that the force Fw acts at an angle of 45 below the horizontal at a distance of 4.0 cm from the shoulder joint In your estimate, take the distance from the shoulder joint to the hand to be L = 70 cm and ignore the weight of the arm.arrow_forwardThe fishing pole in Figure P8.3 makes an angle of 20.0 with the horizontal.
