To develop muscle tone, a woman lifts a 3.30 kg mass held in her hand. She uses her biceps muscle to flex the lower arm through an angle of 60.0°. Ignor (a) What is the angular acceleration, in rad/s², if the mass is 24.0 cm from the elbow joint, her forearm having a moment of inertia of 0.250 kg m², an effective perpendicular lever arm of 2.50 cm? rad/s² (b) How much work, in joules, does she do?

Question
To develop muscle tone, a woman lifts a 3.30 kg mass held in her hand. She uses her biceps muscle to flex the lower arm through an angle of 60.0°. Ignore gravity.
(a) What is the angular acceleration, in rad/s², if the mass is 24.0 cm from the elbow joint, her forearm having a moment of inertia of 0.250 kg m², and the muscle force being 750 N at an
effective perpendicular lever arm of 2.50 cm?
