When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 43.

5 N and it is acting with an effective lever arm of 1.95 cm , what is the torque that the muscle produces on the wrist

To solve this problem, we must take two important steps. First we will convert all the given units, to international system. Later we will define the torque, which is given as the product between the radius of application of the force and the Force acting on the body. Mathematically the latter is,

\tau = r F

Here,

r = Radius

F = Force

Now the units,

r = 1.95cm = 1.95*10^{-2}m

Replacing,

\tau = (1.95*10^{-2})(43.5N)

\tau = 0.8483N\cdot m

Therefore the torque that the muscle produces on the wrist is 0.85N\cdot m

technically usually the warmer object/substances particles move master which causes friction among the particles plus the kinetic energy being converted to thermal energy, so i would say the hand.

Neil Armstrong, the first human being to step on the moon, left a foot print that is essentially unchanged nearly 50 years later
Likurg_2 [28]

Since the boot-print was left there nearly 50 years ago, there has been very little wind and very little rain in that area, and plus, there have been very few people or other animals walking around in that spot to disturb it.
