- When you lift an object by moving only your forearm, the main lifting muscle in your arm is the biceps. Suppose the mass of a forearm is 1.30 kg . If the biceps is connected to the forearm a distance dbiceps = 3.00 cm from the elbow, how much force Fbiceps must the biceps exert to hold a 750 g ball at the end of the forearm at distance dball = 35.0 cm from the elbow, with the forearm parallel to the floor? How much force Felbow must the elbow exert? (Figure 1)arrow_forwardWhen you lift an object by moving only your forearm, the main lifting muscle in your arm is the biceps.

- When you lift an object by moving only your forearm, the main lifting muscle in your arm is the biceps. Suppose the mass of a forearm with hand is 1.60 kg. If the biceps is connected to the forearm a distance of 2.1 cm from the elbow, how much force must the biceps exert to hold a 35 N ball at the end of the forearm at distance of 36.0 cm from the elbow, with the forearm parallel to the floor, in Newtons? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forwardThe mine car and its contents have a total mass of 5 kg and a center of gravity at G.
