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 fo

rearm 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 850 g ball at the end of the forearm at distance dball = 34.0 cm from the elbow, with the forearm parallel to the floor? How much force Felbow must the elbow exert?

Answer:

The answers to the questions are;

The force the biceps must exert to hold a 850 g ball at the end of the forearm at distance dball = 34.0 cm from the elbow, with the forearm parallel to the floor is 166.77 N Upwards.

The force the elbow must  exert is 145.6785 N downwards.

Explanation:

We are required to analyze the system using the principle of moments as follows.

Mass of forearm = 1.30 kg

Weight of forearm = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 1.30 kg × 9.81  m/s²= 12.753 N

Location of point of action of weight of forearm = midpoint  17 cm

Forearm to biceps distance = 3.00 cm from the elbow.

Mass of the ball = 850 g

Weight of ball = mass × acceleration due  to gravity = 0.850 kg × 9.81 = 8.3385 N

Position of the ball = end of the forearm

Therefore, taking moment about the elbow, we have

∑Mₓ = 0, we take clockwise moment to be positive, therefore

8.3385 N× 34.0 cm + 12.753 N× 17 cm - F_{biceps}×3.00 cm = 0

Therefore F_{biceps}×3.00 cm = 500.31 N cm

Therefore F_{biceps} = (500.31 N·cm)/(3.00 cm) = 166.77 N Upwards

The force exerted by the elbow is given by,

Taking moment about the point of contact between the biceps and the forearm, we get

F_{elbow} × 3.00 cm = 8.3385 N× 31.0 cm + 12.753 N× 14 cm

F_{elbow} = 145.6785 N downwards.

The ideal gas constant is a proportionality constant that is added to the ideal gas law to account for pressure (P), volume (V), moles of gas (n), and temperature (T) (R). R, the global gas constant, is 8.314 J/K-1 mol-1.

According to the Ideal Gas Law, a gas's pressure, volume, and temperature may all be compared based on its density or mole value.

The Ideal Gas Law has two fundamental formulas.

PV = nRT, PM = dRT.

P = Atmospheric Pressure

V = Liters of Volume

n = Present Gas Mole Number

R = 0.0821atmLmoL K, the Ideal Gas Law Constant.

T = Kelvin-degree temperature

M stands for Molar Mass of the Gas in grams Mol d for Gas Density in gL.
