A person bending forward to lift a load "with his back" (Figure a) rather than "with his knees" can be injured by large forces exerted on the muscles and vertebrae. The spine pivots mainly at the fifth lumbar vertebra, with the principal
supporting force provided by the erector spinalis muscle in the back. To see the magnitude of the forces involved, and to understand why back problems are common among humans, consider the model shown in Figure b, of a person
bending forward to lift a Wo = 195-N object. The spine and upper body are represented as a uniform horizontal rod of weight W₁ = 305 N pivoted at the base of the spine. The erector spinalis muscle, attached at a point two-thirds of the
way up the spine, maintains the position of the back. The angle between the spine and this muscle is 12.0⁰.

A person places his hand palm downward on a scale and pushes down on the scale until it reads (8.31x10^1) N. The triceps muscle is responsible for this arm extension force. Find the force (in N) exerted by the triceps muscle. The bottom of the triceps muscle is 2.50 cm to the left of the elbow joint, and the palm is pushing at approximately 35.0 cm to the right of the elbow joint. (please ignore the number 96 shown in the scale). Give your answer with three significant figures.
