Two muscles in the back of the leg pull upward on the Achilles tendon, as shown in the figure. ( These muscles are called as medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemius muscle). Find the magnitude of the total force on the Achilles tendon in newtons?

When a person stands on tiptoe (a strenuous position), the position of the foot is as shown in Figure (a). The total gravitational force on the body, g, is supported by the force exerted by the floor on the toes of one foot. A mechanical model of the situation is shown in Figure (b), where is the force exerted by the Achilles tendon on the foot and is the force exerted by the tibia on the foot. Find the values of , , and ? when g = 695 N.

The upper leg muscle exerts a force of 1200N, Which is carried by tendon over the kneecap at the angles shown in the figure. Find the direction and magnitude of the force exerted by the kneecap on the upper leg bone(the femur)?

The large quadriceps muscle in the upper leg terminates at its lower end in a tendon attached to the upper end of the tibia (Fig. P8.27a). The forces on the lower leg when the leg is extended are modeled as in Figure P8.27b, where vector T is the force of tension in the tendon, vector w is the force of gravity acting on the lower leg, and vector F is the force of gravity acting on the foot. Find vector T when the tendon is at an angle of 25.0° with the tibia, assuming that ? = 40.0 N, F = 13.5 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.
