Textbook Solutions for Engineering Mechanics: Statics

Chapter 5 Problem 5-21

Question

When holding the 5-lb stone in equilibrium, the humerus H , assumed to be smooth, exerts normal forces FC and FA on the radius C and ulna A as shown. Determine these forces and the force FB that the biceps B exerts on the radius for equilibrium. The stone has a center of mass at G . Neglect the weight of the arm.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 5 problem number 21 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: When holding the 5-lb stone in equilibrium, the humerus H , assumed to be smooth, exerts normal forces FC and FA on the radius C and ulna A as shown. Determine these forces and the force FB that the biceps B exerts on the radius for equilibrium. The stone has a center of mass at G . Neglect the weight of the arm.
From the textbook chapter Equilibrium of a Rigid Body you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
