Question: Find the resultant elbow flexor force ( Fm ) that is required to keep the forearm and hand in a horizontal position ( E is

Find the resultant elbow flexor force (Fm) that is required to keep the forearm and hand in a horizontal
position (E is 90 CCW with respect to the downward vertical direction). The resultant muscle force is
applied 7 cm along the segment from the elbow joint (rm) and pulls at an angle of 25 CW with respect to
the forearm segment (upward and back direction)(m). The forearm and hand together weigh 25 N
(WFH), and the center of mass for this system is located 14 cm from the axis of the elbow joint (rFH).
