If the same net torque is exerted on two objects of equal moments of inertia, both will definitely be given the same angular acceleration. True False Rotating a bowling ball faster will not increase its moment of inertia. True False

$*$ EST Body torque You hold a 4.0 -kg computer. Estimate the torques exerted on your forearm about the elbow joint caused by the downward force exerted by the computer on the forearm and the upward $340-\mathrm{N}$ force exerted by the biceps muscle on the forearm. Ignore the mass of the arm. Indicate any assumptions you make.
