Title: MODEL ARM ‘Topic: MOVEMENT Skill Assessed: MM Mark Assigne AIM: To investigate the efficiency of the elbow joint and biceps muscle using a model arm, APPARATUS: Model arm (as shown below), weights of various size, spring balance, retort stand. support spring balance fim attachment hooks at toe intervals weights freely moving pivot 41.43 Amodel arm igure 25.1: Model Arm PROCEDURE: 1, Assemble the model arm as shown in the diagram, and attach it to the retort stand, with the ‘upper arm’ section held vertical, 2. Hang a 1 newton weight on the hook at the end of the forearm on the model. 3, Attach a spring balance to hook 1. Pull upwards with the spring balance, parallel to the ‘upper arm’, until the ‘forearm’ is exactly horizontal. Take the reading on the spring balance, and fill it in on the results table. 4, Repeat with the balance pulling on hooks 2, 3 and 4. 5. Replace the 1 newton weight with a 0.5 newton weight, and repeat steps 3 and 4. 6. Tabulate your results, and draw two graphs (one for each weight used) to show the relationship between the force needed to lift each weight, and the position of the spring balance. (Draw both graphs on the same pair of axes.)
