You are to assess the biomechanics of a male’s arm using his bicep to hold a 20 kg object in his hand. The upper arm is perpendicular to the ground while the forearm is parallel to the ground. The male’s forearm is 26.5 cm long and weighs 1.42 kg. The man’s hand weighs 0.54 kg and is 19 cm long. The center of masses for the forearm and hand are 43% and 50% of the extremity lengths from the proximal joint, respectively.

You may assume that only the bicep generates the force, the angle between the bicep and forearm is 75 degrees, and the bicep insertion is 5cm from the elbow joint.

a) Draw a complete free body diagram of the above described activity. (5 pts)

b) Calculate the elbow moment due to external load and body segments weight. (5 pts)

c) Calculate the elbow contact force and force exerted by the bicep. (5 pts)
