6. The quadriceps pulls on the patella with a force of 1000N while the patellar tendon pulls on the patella with aforce of 1000 N also. The knee is in a flexed position,so the angle between these two forces is 120°. Acompressive force from the femoral condyles is theonly other significant force acting on the patella. Ifthe patella is in static equilibrium, how large is thecompressive force exerted by the femoral condyles onthe patella?Quadriceps120PatellartendonFe=?V0001

A person places his hand palm downward on a scale and pushes down on the scale until it reads (8.31x10^1) N. The triceps muscle is responsible for this arm extension force. Find the force (in N) exerted by the triceps muscle. The bottom of the triceps muscle is 2.50 cm to the left of the elbow joint, and the palm is pushing at approximately 35.0 cm to the right of the elbow joint. (please ignore the number 96 shown in the scale). Give your answer with three significant figures.

80. Between each pair of vertebrae in the spinal column is a cylindrical disc of cartilage. Typically, this disc has a radius of about 3.0 X 10-² m and a thickness of about 7.0 x 10-3 m. The shear modulus of cartilage is 1.2 × 10' N/m². Suppose that a shearing force of magnitude 11 N is applied parallel to the top surface of the disc while the bottom surface remains fixed in place. How far does the top surface move relative to the bottom surface?
Answer the following questions. 1. Calculate the elongation of the cable due to load, if a steel cable of 4cm diameter is used to lift a load of 350kg. Given that and the length of cable is 10m and E=3x10'kg/cm. 2. A tensile test was conducted on mild steel bar. The load at elastic limit was 200KN and the diameter of the steel bar was 3cm. What will be the value of stress? 3. A steel bar 600mm long and having 30mm diameter, is turned down to 25mm diameter for one fourth of its length. It is heated at 30 C above room temperature, clamped at both ends and then allowed to cool to room temperature. If the distance between the clamps is unchanged, the maximum stress in the bar ( a = 12.5 x 10" per C and E = 200 GN/m) is 4.
