When you lift an object by moving only your forearm, the main lifting muscle in your arm is the biceps. Suppose the mass of a forearm with hand is 1.60 kg. If the biceps is connected to the forearm a distance of 2.1 cm from the elbow, how much force must the biceps exert to hold a 35 N ball at the end of the forearm at distance of 36.0 cm from the elbow, with the forearm parallel to the floor, in Newtons?

In the strict curl weightlifting event, a standing athlete lifts a barbell using only their lower arms, hinging at the elbow. The record weight is 900N. The biceps tendon connects 4.00cm from the elbow and pulls straight up, while the barbell is held 35.0cm from the elbow. Assume the weight of the forearm is negligible, and that each arm supports half the weight of the barbell. A) What is the tension in the tendon connecting the bicep to the forearm while held stationary in the position shown? B) What is the force (magnitude and direction) of the upp arm pushing on the forearm at the elbow joint?
