The knee extensors insert on the tibia at an angle of 30 degrees (from the longitudinal axis of the tibia), at a distance of 3 c

m from the axis of rotation at the knee. How much force must the knee extensors exert to produce an angular acceleration at the knee of 1 rad/s2 , given a mass of the lower leg and foot of 4.5 kg, and a radius of gyration of 23 cm

Answer:

the knee extensors must exert 15.87 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass m = 4.5 kg

radius of gyration k = 23 cm = 0.23 m

angle ∅ = 30°

∝ = 1 rad/s²

distance of 3 cm from the axis of rotation at the knee r = 3 cm = 0.03 m

using the expression;

ζ = I∝

ζ = mk²∝

we substitute

ζ = 4.5 × (0.23)² × 1

ζ  = 0.23805 N-m

so

from; ζ = rFsin∅

F = ζ / rsin∅

we substitute

F = 0.23805 / (0.03 × sin( 30 ° )

F = 0.23805 / (0.03 × 0.5)

F F = 0.23805 / 0.015

F = 15.87 N

Therefore, the knee extensors must exert 15.87 N
