Homework Statement
Assume that a 1.20-kg ball is thrown solely by the action of the forearm, which rotates about the elbow joint under the action of the triceps muscle, the figure. The ball is accelerated uniformly from rest to 9.5m/s in 0.38s , at which point it is released. Assume that the forearm has a mass of 3.7 kg and rotates like a uniform rod about an axis at its end.
Part A: Calculate the angular acceleration of the arm.
Part B:Calculate the force required of the triceps muscle.
Homework Equations
i believe angular acceleration=Δω/Δt
The Attempt at a Solution
really lost on this problem physics is not my strong suit.
