Question: Jane carries a heavy object in two different body positions. If the weight of the object ( Fp ) is 2 0 0 N ,

Jane carries a heavy object in two different body positions. If the weight of the object ( Fp ) is 200 N , and the weight of her upper body ( Fw ) is 450 N .
In scenario A, she has an upright posture.
Moment arm:
Lw=0.02m
Lp=0.4m
In scenario B, she leans forward.
Moment arm:
Lw=0.25m
Lp=0.5m
Calculate the total torque generated by Fw and Fp about the lumbosacral joint in these two scenarios. (5 points)
B
Jane carries a heavy object in two different body
