man with a mass of 70 kg balances on one foot while standing on a curb. The only significant forces on the foot (taken as a whole structure) are the ground pushing up at a point 15.0 cm in front of the ankle joint, the calf muscle pulling upward at the heel6.0 cm behind the ankle joint, and the tibia (shin bone) exerting a force at the ankle joint. Find the magnitudesof the forces exerted on the foot by the muscle and the tibia.

a. 1715 N b. 2401 N

Explanation:

Let F = force due to calf muscle, F' = force due to tibia and N = force due to ground = weight of man = mg where m = mass of man = 70 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

a. Magnitude of the forces exerted on the foot by the muscle

Since the force due to the calf muscle is 6.0 cm behind the ankle joint and the normal force due to the ground is 15.0 cm in front of the ankle joint and the force due to the tibia is at the ankle joint, taking moments about the ankle joint,

F × 6 cm + F' × 0 cm = N × 15 cm

6F = 15N = 15mg

F = 15mg/6

= 15 × 70 kg × 9.8 m/s²/6

= 1715 N  

b. Magnitude of the forces exerted on the foot by the tibia

Taking moments about the calf muscle force, we have

F × 0 cm + F' × 6 cm = N × (15 cm + 6 cm)

6F' = 21N = 21mg

F' = 21mg/6

= 21 × 70 kg × 9.8 m/s²/6

= 2401 N  

hèllo, sorry i really need some more points so if you need this qustion answered than retype it

where’s the list ? the question is incomplete
