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?

150 Nm

Explanation:

Given that 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,

To calculate the torque is created by these muscles about the ankle joint, we must ignore Achilles tendon inserts on the calcaneus (the heel bone) at a distance of 8 cm from the axis of the ankle joint.

Using the formula of torque T;

T = Fr

Where r = moment arm of the force about the ankle joint axis which is equal to 5 cm.

F = 3000 N

Torque = 3000 × 5 × 10^-2

Torque = 150 Nm

Therefore, 150Nm torque is created by these muscles about the ankle joint.

the temperature in kelvin of 2.0 dm3 of an ideal gas is doubled and its pressure is increased by a factor of four. what is the final volume of the gas

i think the answer is tomato juice? not entirely sure though
