Question

What is the magnitude of the average force exerted on the leg, in newtons, taking the effective mass of the hand and forearm to be 1.6 kg

Answer 1

15.696N

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion,

Force = mass × acceleration due to gravity

Given

Mass = 1.6kg

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Substitute to get the force

Force = 1.6×9.81

Force = 15.696N

Magnitude of the average force is 15.696N
