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
