- Calculate the quadriceps muscle force
- Relevant Equations
- πΉπ=πβπ+πβπ/c
Hi guys,
I'm new here. So I have this biomechanics module which is completely out of my league (it's compulsory but it's not what I want to do). Could someone help with the following? It's about static and dynamic loads calculation.
Calculate the quadriceps muscle force applied through the patellar tendon. Lever arm of the muscle force is 4cm. The ground reaction force is 800N and its lever arm is 20cm.
This is the formula:
πΉπ=πβπ+πβπ/c
On the slides P stands for weight of the barbell but we don't have it here so I don't know..
W stands for weight of the upper body
a - the lever arm of P
b- the lever arm of W
c- the lever arm of Fm
