The large quadriceps muscle in the upper leg terminates at its lower end in a tendon attached to the upper end of the tibia (see Figure a). The forces on the lower leg when the leg is extended are modeled as in Figure b, where T is the force of tension in the tendon, w is the force of gravity acting on the lower leg, and F is the force of gravity acting on the foot. Find T when the tendon is at an angle of 25.0° with the tibia, assuming that w = 29.0 N, F = 12.3 N, and the leg is extended at an angle ? of 40.0° with the vertical. Assume that the center of gravity of the lower leg is at its center and that the tendon attaches to the lower leg at a point one-fifth of the way down the leg. (Give the magnitude.)
A laboratory on the concept of static equilibrium uses an apparatus called a force table. The force table consists of a round, level platform marked in degree increments about its circumference. In the center of the table sits a massless ring, to which three strings are tied. Each string is strung over a m, separate pulley clamped to the edge of the platform, and then tied to a freely-hanging mass, so that each string is under tension and the ring is suspended parallel to the table surface. m2 m2 A mass of m1 = 0.153 kg is located at 0, 28.5°, and a %3D second mass of m2 = 0.211 kg is located at 02 295°. %3D Calculate the mass m3 and the angular position 03 (in degrees) that will balance the system and hold the ring stationary over the center of the platform. kg m3 = 03 =
