he figure shows an outstretched arm (0.61 m in length) that is parallel to
the floor. The arm is pulling downward against the ring attached to the
pulley system, in order to hold the 98-N weight stationary. To pull the arm
downward, the latissimus dorsi muscle applies the force M in the figure,
at a point that is 0.069 m from the shoulder joint and oriented at an angle
of 29°. The arm has a weight of 42 N and a center of gravity (cg) that is
located 0.28 m from the shoulder joint. Find the magnitude of force M.

. The forces exerted by the bicep muscle and acting on the elbow when a 12 kg barbell is being curledcan be modeled based on the diagram above. The bicep muscle can be treated as a vertical cable. Themass and length of the forearm are 2 kg and 32 cm, respectively. The center of mass of the forearm is adistance of 14 cm from the point P, while the bicep connects to the forearm at a point 4.5 cm from P.a) Determine the tension in bicep muscle and the force of the humerus acting downward on the elbowat point P. b) Assuming the tension in the bicep muscle continues to be oriented vertically, determinethe tension in the bicep muscle and the force acting at P after the barbell has been raised by an angleof 30 relative to the horizontal.
Trina is a gym goer with a leg length of 84 cm. Suppose that she is in the gym doing straight legraising with 10 lb weights.
Compute for the force that the muscle should exert in order to (1) maintain it in the position and(2) lift the weight up given that the distance of the effort (muscle) from the joint is 54 cm,distance of the weight is 80 cm, and the COM is 45 cm from the joint.
ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS:
1.) Compute for the force that will maintain the position.
2.) Compute for the force needed to lift the weight higher.
3.) Assuming that the hip flexion angle is at 60 degrees, compute for the lineardisplacement of the leg.

- An architecture student working at a drafting table requires some muscle action in order to support her head. As shown in the figure, three forces act on her head. If the force provided by muscles is FM = 70 N and the weight of her head is W = 31 N, determine the magnitude and direction of the force provided by the upper vertebrae Fy to hold her head stationary.
