A woman lifts a 7.2-kg barbell in each hand with her arm in a horizontal position at the side of her body and holds it there for 3 s. The deltoid attaches 13 cm from the shoulder joint and makes a 13∘ angle with the humerus. The barbell in her hand is 0.55 m from the shoulder joint, and the center of mass of her 4.0-kg arm is 0.24 m from the joint.
Determine the magnitude of the force that the lifter's shoulder joint exerts on her humerus.
Here we apply concept of rotational equilibrium and apply conditions for rotational equilibrium.
