A patient's foot shown in the figure does contact the floor only at point P (the heel () does not touch the floor). The calf muscle acts on the foot with a force at point A, while the lower leg bones act on the foot with a force at point B. If the patient's weight is 900 N, distance a = 5 cm and distance b = 15 cm, the calf's force (in N) is: Calf muscle Lower leg bones •A O 2700 downward O 2700 upward O 4500 downward O 9 0 downward 4500 upward

Question 17 >x 3-SIDED COMPANIES A triangular-shaped X. 30° A L/3 L- sign of mass 86.2 kg is attached to a wall (see Figure) and the length L is 7.3 m. A frictionless joint (A) provides support and a short rope (B) can be used to level the sign. The position of the signs center of mass is indicated by the x". Consider the sign to be a right triangle and only consider the sign s motion in the x-y plane. Find the tension in the rope.(PUHQ1734)

Q10a The 9.75 m long beam is simply supported at A and B as shown below with a uniformly distributed load (UDL) between A and C of 4.75 kN/m and a concentrated point load of 12.50 kN at point D (i.e., midpoint between C & B). Determine the reaction force RA acting at A in kilonewtons (kN). Assume the beam is weightless and give your answer in kilonewtons (kN) to 2 decimal places. 12.50 kN 4.75 kN/m 1.125 m A 7.50 m 2.25 m C B Answer:
