Your answer is partially correct.
African elephants are the largest land animals. They consume approximately 10% of their body weight in food each day, which for an
adult male, can be 1000 lb. of vegetation! Their diet consists mostly of grasses, bamboo, tree bark, and fruit. They also like to dine on
tree leaves. To reach them, they often stand up on their hind legs and extend their trunks (see the figure). The elephant in the figure is
in equilibrium. The location of the elephant's center of mass is shown, and the axis of rotation has been chosen to correspond to the hip
joint. The forces in the elephant's free-body diagram are shown, and there is a static friction force between the elephant's back feet
and the ground. Use the following information and calculate the magnitude of the tension in the elephant's trunk T (m = 4540 kg, FN
= 'fs=133 cm, rcg = 76.0 cm, r = 229 cm).
