Dumbbell Force Magnitude = 25lb (convert to Newtons) Distance = 37 cm Angle - 45° Lower Arm 1. Determine the components of the forces acting on the lower arm while holding the dumbbell in the position presented and the joint reaction force caused by the translational effects of the forces applied. From your calculated information, determine the muscular effort required to be exerted by the biceps brachii necessary to have an isometric contraction occur.
