How much horizontal force, in N, must a [m] kg sprinter exert on the starting blocks to produce an acceleration of 12.4ms2 ?

The Impulse for touch travels at [v] ms when a man stubs his toe. What is the time for the touch impulse to reach the brain ? Hint : assume distance brain-toe is 1.80 meters.  

Calculate the force exerted by the biceps to hold up the forearm and a book whose mass m= [m] kg. The pivot point is at the elbow joint. Solution: holding up → rotational equilibrium; Which influences tend to change the state of rotational motion ?
