An athlete performs a leg extension on a machine using a 20-kg mass at A located 400 mm away from the knee joint at center O. Biomechanical studies show that the patellar tendon inserts at B, which is 100 mm below point O and 20 mm from the center line of the tibia (see figure). The mass of the lower leg and foot is 5 kg, the center of gravity of this segment is 300 mm from the knee, and the radius of gyration about the knee is 350 mm. Knowing that the leg is moving at a constant angular velocity of 30 degrees per second when θ = 60°, determine (a) the force F in the patellar tendon, (b) the magnitude of the joint force at the knee joint center O.

The wall is covered with a layer of insulation 2.5 cm thick whose thermal conductivity is 1.4 W/m. C, and the temperature of the wall on the inside of the insulation is 315°C. The wall loses heat to the environment by convection. Compute the value of the convection heat-transfer coefficient that must be maintained on the outer surface of the insulation to ensure that the outer-surface temperature does not exceed 41°C. B) A vertical square plate, 30 cm on a side, is maintained at 50°C and exposed to room air at 20°C. The surface emissivity is 0.8. Calculate the total heat lost by both sides of the plate.
