BIO Bones and Muscles. A physical therapy patient has a forearm that weighs 20.5 N and lifts a 112.0-N weight. These two forces are directed vertically downward. The only other significant forces on this forearm come from the biceps muscle (which acts perpendicular to the forearm) and the force at the elbow. If the biceps produces a pull of 232 N when the forearm is raised 43.0° above the horizontal, find the magnitude and direction of the force that the elbow exerts on the forearm. (The sum of the elbow force and the biceps force must balance the weight of the arm and the weight it is carrying, so their vector sum must be 132.5 N, upward.)

The two forces were given by providing one of the components and the angle the force made with the positive x- axis. The two forces were as follows: Force 1: ?? = −2.70 ?; ? = 220.0 degreees Force 2: ?? = 3.20 ?; ? = 60.0 degrees (a) For each force, calculate the magnitude of the force and the mass required to produce it. (b) Calculate the mass and its angle of application to produce equilibrium with these two forces. Please specify your angle as counterclockwise positive with respect to the positive x-axis.arrow_forward
