Lets do the sum of the forces about the elbow joint.

Fm = Force of Muscle; Fe = Force Elbow; Fb = Force Ball

Sum Force about Joint = (-2.5)Fm + 12.5Fe + 30Fb = 0

(-2.5)Fm + 12.5(2.8) + 30(6.9) = 0

Fm = 96.8kg

Fm = 96.8 * 9.8 = 948.6N

Do you understand why the -2.5 is negative?
<span> Because I put the origin at the joint. So when you go left it is negative and when you go right it is positive. </span>

All ball is thrown up with a vertical velocity of 54 m/s and a horizontal velocity of 39 m/s. Calculate how many seconds it will
VikaD [51]

5.5 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the ball to reach its maximum height can be calculated using

v_y = v_{0y} - gt \Rightarrow t = \dfrac{v_{0y}}{g}

since v_y = 0 at the top of its trajectory. Plugging in the numbers,

t = \dfrac{(54\:\text{m/s})}{(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)} = 5.5\:\text{s}

How can we protect space shuttles or astronauts from space radiation in the absence of the atmospheric layer?
Arisa [49]
Earth's protective magnetic bubble, called the magnetosphere, deflects most solar particles, but in the absence of atmospheric layer, Polyethylene is a good shielding material because it has high hydrogen content, and hydrogen atoms are good at absorbing and dispersing radiation.

The Earth’s atmospheres are kept in place by gravity. The air near the ground is pulled on by gravity and compressed by the air higher in the sky. This causes the air near the ground to be denser and creating different layers with different qualities in which are the atmosphere.

Hope that helps ^^
