Set up a free body diagram of the elbow and use it to derive an equation solving for the biceps brachii muscle force when performing an isometric bicep exercise with a 20 kg weight. Solve for the biceps force (FB) in terms of the following variables (do not plug in numbers at this point). Assume the humerus is kept vertical and the elbow is flexed 60° (remember straight arm is 0° of elbow flexion). Remember to draw your FBD large enough to have room to work (i. e. use a whole sheet of paper!).

Fb = Biceps brachii muscle force

MA = Biceps moment arm

Theta = Elbow flexion angle

L = Distance from the elbow COR to center of mass of forearm

m = Forearm mass X Distance from the elbow COR to the point of application of the external load

Fr = Resistive force of the weight during isometric flexion exercise

g Gravitational constant

Your FBD should show 3 forces: the force from the external resistance (Fr), the force due to weight of the forearm (mg), and the force due to the biceps brachii muscle (Fb).

Ultraviolet radiation is dangerous because it has a high enough energy to damage skin cells. what is the best explanation of the relationship between wavelength and wave energy? a) wave energy is related only to frequency, not wavelength. b) longer wavelengths have lower frequencies but higher energy. c) the shorter the wavelength, the lower the frequency and the higher the energy. d) the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency and the higher the energy.

You are driving to the grocery store at 20 m/s. you are 110m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. assume that your reaction time is 0.50s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. how far are you from the intersection when you begin to apply the brakes? what acceleration will bring you to rest right at the intersection? how long does it take you to stop after the light changes? the known values: vi=20m/s xi=110m t=.50s vf=0m/s xf=0m a=?

The path of a satellite orbiting the earth causes it to pass directly over two tracking stations a and b, which are 51 miles apart. when the satellite is on one side of the two stations, the angles of elevation at a and b are measured to be 87 degrees and 84 degrees, respectively. (a) how far is the satellite from station a? (b) how high is the satellite above the ground?
