An 80 kg man's leg [shank + foot] is shown in swing phase. Anthropometric data given with this
question are applicable. The leg centre of mass has a velocity of 0.2 m/s at 75° to vertical as
shown and is located 0.4 m above the ground. Its angular velocity is 30 degrees per second in the
extension direction, and the angular acceleration is 120 degrees per second² in the flexion
direction. Assume that the datum level for potential energy is the ground level.

i. What is the kinetic energy of the leg?
ii. What is the potential energy of the leg?
iii. If the thigh is stationary, describe and explain the likely behavior of the energy components
of the leg over the next short period of time.
iv. Assume the dimensions of the lower limb are as shown. What must be the net torque applied
about the leg center of mass?](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/a78cf17b-a235-4589-923c-577cbabfccac/d1ef99b7-be50-4778-837d-5d7fea8ab5aa/xpb1f13_thumbnail.jpeg)
