Answer:

The size of the rotary and stabilizing components of muscle are 129.41 N and 482.96 N

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the angle produced between the deltoid attached and the humerus

The Rotary Formula (or Vertical Component) is

FR = 500 N · sin 15° = 129.41 N

and the Stabilizing Formula (or Horizontal Component) is

FS = 500 N · cos 15° = 482.96 N
