Chapter 9 Problem 32P

Question

(II) (a) Calculate the force, \(F_{M}\), required of the "deltoid" muscle to hold up the outstretched arm shown in Fig. 9-65. The total mass of the arm is 3.3 kg.

(b) Calculate the magnitude of the force \(F_{J}\) exerted by the shoulder joint on the upper arm.

Solution

Step 1 of 6

We are going to draw the free body diagram of the system

Shoulder joint is taken as pivot point O

\(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{m}}\); The force exerted by muscle.

W : the weight of the arm/

\(F_j\) ; the reaction force exerted from the joint.

\(\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{fm}}\) ; the force  distance from muscle force to pivot pint

\(d_w\) ; the force distance from weight of the arm to pivot point.
