Question

A 15.5 N weight is held in the outstretched hand of a personwith a shoulder-to-elbow length of 33.0 cm and an elbow-to-wristlength of 22.5 cm. The center of the weight is 5.5 cm from theperson's wrist.
Determine the magnitude of the torque about the elbow producedby the weight?

Determine the magnitude of the torque about the shoulder producedby the weight.? Torque on a Out-Stretched Arm A 15.5 N weight is held in the outstretched hand of a personwith a shoulder-to-elbow length of 33.0 cm and an elbow-to-wristlength of 22.5 cm. The center of the weight is 5.5 cm from theperson's wrist. Determine the magnitude of the torque about the elbow producedby the weight? Determine the magnitude of the torque about the shoulder producedby the weight.?

Explanation / Answer

Part A) =F*r =15.5*(.225+.055) =4.34 N*m part B) =F*r =15.5*(.33+.225+.055) =9.46 N*m
