Question: Exercise 3 The forearm and biceps support a load at point ( A ) as shown in Figure 3 . ( C

Exercise 3
The forearm and biceps support a load at point \( A \) as shown in Figure 3.\( C \) can be assumed as a pin support. The biceps pulls on the bone along \( B D \).
(a) Determine the resultant internal loadings acting on the cross section of the bone of the forearm at point \( F \) for
(i) A mass of \( m=2\mathrm{~kg}\) at \( A \)
(ii) A mass of \( m=6\mathrm{~kg}\) at \( A \)
(b) Assuming the same geometry is maintained, what mass \( m \mathrm{~kg}\) at point \( A \) would cause the force in the bicep to reach 650 N (close to maximum limit for average bicep muscle)?
