The upper leg muscle (quadriceps) exerts a force of 1200 N, which is carried by a tendon over the kneecap (the patella) at the angles shown in (See attached image). Find the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the kneecap on the upper leg bone (the femur). ..........................N ..........................° (counter-clockwise from an axis directed to the left)
Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics
In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.
Equilibrium of Forces
The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.
