 Current Attempt in Progress A man holds a 188-N ball in

Current Attempt in Progress A man holds a 188-N ball in his hand, with the forearm horizontal (see the figure). He can support the ball in this position because of the flexor muscle force M, which is applied perpendicular to the forearm. The forearm weighs 25.3 N and has a center of gravity as indicated. Find (a) the magnitude of M and the (b) magnitude and (c) direction (as a positive angle counterclockwise from horizontal) of the force applied by the upper arm bone to the forearm at the elbow joint. Upper arm bone Flexor muscle 12 Elbow joint 0.0510 m- 0.0890 m -0.330 m- (a) Number 1290 Units Z (b) Number 1070 Units Z (c) Number Units 7
