Patient may have held to cause the biceps tendon to tear

Reference no: EM13672156

Although it is uncommon, orthopaedic surgeons have seen patients who have torn their biceps tendon when forces of greater than 390 N have been exerted on the tendon with the arm bent at the elbow so that the forearm is parallel to the ground. What is the minimum mass of a ball such a patient may have held to cause the biceps tendon to tear?
