By considering the torques about your shoulder, estimate the force your deltoid muscles (those on top of the shoulder) must exert on the bone of your upper arm, in order to keep your arm extended straight out at shoulder level. Then, estimate the force the muscles must exert to hold a 10.0-lb weight at arm’s length. You’ll need to estimate the distance from your shoulder pivot point to the point where your deltoid muscles connect to the bone of your upper arm in order to determine the necessary forces. Assume the deltoids are the only contributing muscles.
