a child weighing 25 kg is standing on the ball of her foot. The total length of her foot (heel bone to the great toe) is 23 cm the distance between the great toe and the ball of her foot is 4 cm and the distance between her Achilles tendon and her ankle joint is 5 cm. Calculate the forces on her tibia and her Achilles tendon. Which force is tensile and which is compressive? [Acceleration due to gravity, g, is 9.81 ms-2]
