Question
DRAW A FREE BODY DIAGRAM! The Achilles’ tendon inserts on the calcaneus (the heel bone) at a distance of 8 cm from the axis of the ankle joint. If the force generated by the muscles attached to the Achilles’ tendon is 3000 N and the moment arm of this force about the ankle joint axis is 5 cm, what torque is created by these muscles about the ankle joint? (Show all work, and draw a free body diagram)

- The figure below shows an outstretched arm (0.61 m in length) that is parallel to the floor. The arm is pulling downward against the ring attached to the pulley system, in order to hold the 98 N weight stationary. To pull the arm downward, the latissimus dorsi muscle applies the force M in the figure, at a point that is 0.069 m from the should joint and oriented at an angle of 29°. The arm has a weight of 47 N and a center of gravity (cg) that is located 0.28 m from the shoulder joint. 0.61 m 0.28 m 0.069 m Axis at 98 N shoulder joint cg 29 Aldentify all the forces on the arm and draw an accurate and complete free body diagram on both the arm and the 98 N weight. You may draw on the figure if you wish. B Write down the correct equation of motion ON THE 98 N WEIGHT by summing all the forces acting on it using Newton's 2nd Law of Motion. You must identify and draw your chosen coordinate system.
