Figure Q1 shows the forearm and biceps of a lawn bowling athlete as the sportsperson supports a bowling ball of 2 kg mass at point A. The biceps pulls on the bone along line BD. The elbow joint at point C can be assumed as a pin support. a. Calculate the internal loadings (forces and moment) that act on the cross section of the bone of the forearm at point E. b. Identify the normal stress in the bone at point E if the cross-sectional area of the bone is 150 mm2. c. Predict the impact of bone porosity on the normal stress in the bone if the loadings remain unchanged.
