2b) Using the figure in 2a., calculate the external torque of the system relative to the normal
component of segment and load weights listed above.
2c) Calculate the amount of both the tangential component of the muscle force and the muscle force
itself required to keep this system in a state of static equilibrium.
A) Describe the difference between strength and power during a squat. Provide a quantitative example that illustrates the difference.
B) During a squat, the weight you have on your shoulders has a certain amount of gravitational potential energy. As you squat down and come to a stop at the bottom of the squat, some of that energy is lost. Where does it go?

- < The three main forces that act on the patella are shown on the diagram of the knee joint below. These forces are the quadriceps muscle force (FQ), the patella ligament force (FPL), and the patellofemoral joint reaction force (FPF). The angles a and ẞ are with respect to a line that is perpendicular to FPF. Assuming a = 15°, ẞ = 20°, and FQ = 3725 N, use equations for static equilibrium to calculate (a) FPL, and (b) FPF. (Hint: To solve this problem consider using a coordinate system that is aligned with the principal axes of the patella instead of the usual vertical and horizontal axes). (c) Many people assume FQ and FPL are always equal in magnitude but this is only true under certain circumstances. Under what conditions are FQ and FPL equal in magnitude?
