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 = 10°, ẞ = 30°, and FQ = 4000 N, use the equations for static equilibrium to calculate the FPL in Newtons.
