(simplify your answer) (b) The magnitude of the torque about the elbow is t-b. (Simplify your answer) What is the direction of the torque about the shoulderlelbow? O Upward ur O To the left O Out of the screen Click to select your answerts).

Explanation / Answer

Torque is given by:

T = rXF = r*F*sin A

A.

torque about the shoulder will be

T = rs*F*sin A

A = 90 deg

rs = 2 ft

F = 22 Lb

T = 2*22*sin 90 deg = 44 lb-ft

B.

torque about the elbow will be

T = re*F*sin A

A = 90 deg

re = 1 ft

F = 22 Lb

T = 1*22*sin 90 deg = 22 lb-ft

C.

Direction = rXF = ixj = k
