The popiletus muscle is the muscle that extends the knee , laterally rotates the tibia.

The popliteus muscle is a little muscle that extends the knee and form muscle the floor of the popliteal fossa. It is part of deep posterior leg muscles, that rotate laterally tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus.

The popliteus muscle extends to the knee joint. It is formed from the femur and the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, and also extend to the proximal tibia.

The popliteus muscle help to function in an gait cycle by causing the flexion of the extended (“locked”) knee.

Therefore, The popiletus muscle is the muscle that extends the knee , laterally rotates the tibia.

How do the Earth and Moon compare in terms of gravitational force?
Law Incorporation [45]

The Earth and Moon compare in terms of gravitational force as Earth's gravitational force is stronger than the Moon's.

Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to universal law of gravity, the gravitational force is the attractive force between two objects separated by a distance. The magnitude of gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them.

In this case, the gravitational force acting on us due to Earth will be considered due to the mass of Earth as the mass of Earth is very large compared to our mass.

F=\frac{GM}{R^{2} }

So as the mass of the Earth is greater than the mass of the moon, so the gravitational force of Earth will be stronger than that of Moon.
