Question: Equilibrium: A gymnast is struggling performing a ring routine. He is isometrically attempting to hold the iron cross position with his arms at 1 5

Equilibrium: A gymnast is struggling performing a ring routine. He is isometrically attempting to hold the iron cross position with his arms at 15 degrees above the horizontal. The length of his arm is 0.6 m (COM halfway along its length) and has a mass of 3.5 kg. The rope of the rings are 10 degrees off vertical and have a tension of 400 N. You may assume his whole arm is a one rigid body and that the direction of force application of the ring on his hands is in the direction of the rope.
