As illustrated in the figure below, consider an athlete exercising her lower arm performing a flexion/extension movement to strengthen her biceps. She is holding a weight W of 125 N in her hand, and the weight of her lower arm at her elbow joint is 25 N, as measured from point O, the center of gravity of her lower arm. The center of gravity of the weight held in her hand (point A) is located at a distance of 33 cm from point O.
Determine the net moment generated about her elbow joint when her lower arm is extended horizontally and held at equilibrium. Ignore the forces exerted by any muscles.
Options:
a) 43.25 Nm clockwise
b) 43.25 Nm counterclockwise
c) 39.25 Nm clockwise
d) 39.25 Nm counterclockwise
e) 18.25 Nm clockwise
