**Section: Motion Capture in Biomechanics**
*Problem Description*
In a motion capture study of a runner, one frame shows the subject supporting their weight on one leg. We analyze this frame using a diagram to determine the position and angles of the leg segments.
*Figure P3.37 Overview*
The leg is represented in two different positions:
1. **Diagram (a):** Illustrates the leg during a motion capture study with specific angles.
- The foot is touching the ground at the origin of the coordinate system (x = 0, y = 0).
- The segment from the ankle to the toes forms a 30-degree angle with the horizontal axis.
- The segment from the ankle to the knee forms a 60-degree angle with the vertical line.
2. **Diagram (b):** Used to calculate unknown angles \(\theta_1\) and \(\theta_2\).
- The knee's location is given as (-6.25 in., 25 in.).
- Shown in a coordinate system where the foot is at the origin.
*Task Details*
- **(a)** Calculate the position of the knee when the toes are at the ground at the origin.
- **(b)** For the knee positioned in the second quadrant with coordinates (-6.25 in., 25 in.), determine the angles \(\theta_1\) and \(\theta_2\).
*Measurements*
- Foot segment (ankle to toe): 8 inches.
- Lower leg segment (ankle to knee): 18 inches.
These diagrams and calculations are crucial for understanding movement and biomechanics in engineering applications.
