A person is holding a weight (100 N) in their hand. The weight is a distance of 0.3
meters from the center of rotation of the elbow.
1. If the forearm is parallel to the ground, what is the torque about the elbow due to
the weight?
Telbow = F * R = 100 N * 0.3 meters = 30 Nm
2. If the forearm has an angle of 30 above the horizontal (hand is higher than
elbow), what is the torque about the elbow due to the weight?
Telbow = F * R
R = 0.3cos 30 = 0.26 meters
Telbow = 100 N * 0.26 m = 26 Nm
3. If an elbow flexor muscle has a moment arm of 0.030 m about the elbow, what
force must it generate to hold the forearm at an angle of 50 above the
horizontal with the weight in the hand (ignoring the weight of the forearm)?
Melbow = 0:
FwRw FmRm = 0
where Fm & Rm are the muscle force and its moment arm respectively, and
Fw & Rw are the 100N weight and its moment arm respectively.
Rw = 0.3 * cos 50 = 0.19 meters
100 * 0.19 Fm * 0.03 = 0
Fm = 642 N
A person is wearing a weight boot (150N) and doing exercises to strengthen the
knee extensor muscles. The center of mass of the weight boot is 0.35 meters
from the center of rotation of the knee. The person's foot + shank has a weight
of 40N and its center of mass is 0.2 meters from the center of rotation of the
knee. These distances are along the length of the shank.
1. When the shank is perpendicular to the ground, what is the total torque about
the knee? (Be sure to use a free-body diagram.)
All of the moment arms are zero because the force vectors go directly
through the center of rotation of the knee. As a result, the total torque
is 0.
2. When the shank is held at a position where it is 20 below the horizontal (foot is
lower than knee), what is the torque about the knee? (Be sure to use a freebody diagram. Note that the moment arm of the weight boot about the knee
changes with knee angle.)
T = - (T due to shank weight + T due to weight boot) = -[(40)(0.2 cos 20)]
+ [(150)(0.35 cos 20)] = -56.9 N m
3. If the quadriceps muscle group has a moment arm of 0.025 m, what is the
muscle force needed to hold the shank at 20 below the horizontal?
Mknee = 0 = -[(40)(0.2 cos 20)] + [(150)(0.35 cos 20)] + 0.025 F m,quad

asleep, and a very protective reaction
kicks in, activating your neck muscles
and jerking your head up in the nick of
time to avoid an accident.
