Biomechanics | Elbow/Biceps Torque Problem #1

The video tutorial by Kevin Tolkoff introduces biomechanics problems focusing on the elbow joint, knee joint, and shoulder joint. It starts with a biceps problem related to torque, explaining the setup and forces involved. The tutorial covers the calculation of torque, emphasizing the importance of balancing forces and distances from the axis of rotation. The example problem involves calculating the force exerted by the biceps to hold an arm at 90 degrees, highlighting the inefficiency of the biceps as a third-class lever. The tutorial concludes with key points on biomechanics problem-solving.
