Question

An outstretched arm of a person is held at an angle θ = 24.08° below the horizon, and a weight of 22.5 N is placed in the hand. The shoulder-to-elbow length is 29.5 cm, and the elbow-to-wrist length is 22.0 cm. The center of the weight is 5.5 cm from the person's wrist. Determine the magnitude of the torque about the elbow produced by the weight.

Step 1

The elbow-to-wrist length is 22.0 cm, and the center of the weight is 5.5 cm from the wrist. Therefore, the total distance \( d \) from the elbow to the center of the weight is: \[ d = 22.0 \, \text{cm} + 5.5 \, \text{cm} = 27.5 \, \text{cm} \] Show more…
