To secure the bone so it can not shift while healing. With out a cast the likelihood of you jarring the bone out of place is higher, and thus it could heal incorrectly.
The input arm, also known as the effort arm, is the distance from the pivot point to where the input force is applied. The output arm, also known as the load arm, is the distance from the pivot point to where the output force is exerted.
The mechanical advantage (MA) of a lever is calculated by dividing the input arm length by the output arm length. In this case, the MA would be 36cm (input arm) divided by 6cm (output arm), resulting in a MA of 6.
The mechanical advantage of a lever is calculated by dividing the length of the effort arm by the length of the resistance arm. In this case, the mechanical advantage would be 16cm (effort arm) divided by 2cm (resistance arm), resulting in a mechanical advantage of 8.
In a catapult, the fulcrum is at the base of the throwing arm, the effort arm is the portion of the arm from the fulcrum to the point where the force is applied, and the load arm is the portion of the arm from the fulcrum to the payload being launched. The distance and positioning of these components determine the efficiency and effectiveness of the catapult in launching projectiles.
The latissimus dorsi muscle is the prime mover for pulling the arm posteriorly. It is a large muscle that originates from the lower back and inserts into the upper arm bone, allowing for powerful movements like pulling and reaching behind the body.

From the Doctor.
When you (for example) have broken your arm, they but a cast on it. lol
cast
they need it to be protected and so it will put your bone back in place.
His arm had recently been broken.
His arm had recently been broken
the cast lets the broken bone stick together and it has to get used to it
the doctors put a cast on an arm or leg to immobilize the limb so it could heal adequately.
see a doctor, have an X-ray, get it cast.
I'm sorry that you have a broken arm- how long the cast will be on, depends upon what type of a break it was, and also how long it has been on already. It's best if you ask your local hospital about this. GET WELL SOON!!
