BIO A Good Work out. You are doing exercises on a Nautilus
Chapter 5, Problem 22E(choose chapter or problem)
BIO A Good Work out. You are doing exercises on a Nautilus machine in a gym to strengthen your deltoid (shoulder) muscles. Your arms are raised vertically and can pivot around the shoulder joint, and you grasp the cable of the machine in your hand 64.0 cm from your shoulder joint. The deltoid muscle is attached to the humerus 15.0 cm from the shoulder joint and makes a 12.0° angle with that bone (?Fig. E11.22?). If you have set the tension in the cable of the machine to 36.0 N on each arm, what is the tension in each deltoid muscle if you simply hold your outstretched arms in place? (Hint: Start by making a clear free-body diagram of your arm.)

ANSWER:Solution to 22E Step 1 of 3 Introduction Since the arms are hold at a place, the arm is in equilibrium. Thus, the net torque on the arm at the shoulder joint should be zero. Length of arm=64cm=0.64m Length of humerus=0.15m
