Calculate the direction and magnitude of the force supplied

Reference no: EM131000792

A person working at a drafting board may hold her head as shown in Figure, requiring muscle action to support the head. The three major forces acting are shown. FM = 80 N, w = 45 N. Calculate the direction and magnitude of the force supplied by the upper vertebrae FV to hold the head stationary, assuming that it acts along a line through the center of mass as do the weight and muscle force.
