Problem 8: (7\% of Assignment Value)
The figure shows the arm of a person holding a book with their forearm horizontal to the ground with their upper arm and the forearm forming an angle of \(134^{\circ}\). The forearm has a mass of 2.5 kg , and the book has a mass of 1.9 kg . The biceps exert a force \(\overrightarrow{F_{B}}\) on the forearm, and \(\overrightarrow{F_{E}}\) is the force of the elbow joint. The force of the elbow joint acts along the arm itself, though the force exerted by the biceps acts at a slightly different angle than the arm.
Calculate the magnitude of the force in the elbow joint in units of newtons.
