10. A 45 N hand and forearm are held at a 45° angle to the vertically oriented Humerus. The CG of the forearm and hand is located at a distance of 15 cm from the joint center at the elbow, and the elbow flexor muscles attach at an average distance of 3 cm from the joint center. See the picture below, assume that the muscles attach at an angle of 45° to the bones. How much force must the forearm flexors exert if a 60 N weight is held in the hand at a distance along the arm of 30 cm?
