- Human arm model can be used to show how muscle tension in bicep (or tricep) relates to magnitude of force on hand, in various orientations.
- Picture above shows how 12 N of muscle tension are required to hold a mass weighing 1 N, in the hand, when the forearm is held at a 90 degree angle.
- Model allows for several different configurations and activities. See: https://www.pasco.com/prodCatalog/PS/PS-2611_human-arm-model/index.cfm

- This model can be used to demonstrate the amount of muscle tension required to hold the arm in various positions.
- The above picture shows that a 1 N weight, held in the hand with the forearm at a 90 degree angle, produces a bicep tension of 12 N.
