The total mass of the arm shown in is 2.6 kg. determine the force, f_m required of the "deltoid" muscle to hold up the outstretched arm. express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. determine the magnitude of the force f_j exerted by the shoulder joint on the upper arm. express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. determine the angle between the positive x axis and the force f_j, measured clockwise. express your answer using two significant figures.

Fm = 51N and Fj = 26N

Summing the moments about the shoulder joint

Sum of anticlockwise moments = sum of clockwise moments

Fm x 12 = mg x 24

Fm = 2.6 x 9.8 × 24/12

Fm = 51N

Summing the forces acting on the arm

Sum of upward forces = sum of downward forces

Fm = Fj + mg

51 = Fj + 2.6 × 9.8

51 = Fj + 25.48

Fj = 51 - 25.48

Fj = 26N

Explanation:

Newtons first law and the principle of moments have been applied in solving this problem.

electrical potential energy =0.072 j

explanation:

electrical potential energy is given by

u= q δv

q= charge=6 c

δv= potential difference and is given by

δv= e d

e= electric field

d= distance=5 mm=0.005 m

δv=2.4 (0.005)=0.012 v

now electric potential energy= u= q δv

u=6 (0.012)

u=0.072 j
