Typical Result:

Analysis:

1. As the arm

pushes the mass forward,
the elbow angle decreases
(from right-to-left on the
graph). 2. The biceps force
increases.

Typical Results:

Part A, analysis:

1. As

the arm lifts the mass, the
elbow angle decreases.
2. The triceps force
decreases (from
right-to-left on the graph).

Part B, analysis:

The

elbow makes the same
motion as in Part A; how-
ever, in this graph, the tri-
ceps force increases as the
arm lifts the mass.
