Two muscles at the back of your leg, called lateral and medial heads of the gastrocnemius muscle, exert forces L and M respectively, on the Achilles tendon (Figure 3-31). The forces are measured in Newtons, N. Use components to determine the resultant force on the tendon. 2.4 x 102 N 2.4 X 102 N Figure 3-31 Question 3-32.
physics Two muscles in the back of the leg pull upward on the Achilles tendon, as shown in the figure below. (These muscles are called the medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemius muscle.)

The Achilles tendon is located on the back of the ankle as far as possible from the ankle joint (6 cm) to give the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) the maximum advantage lifting the body. Assume a 98 kg basketball player (weight of 961 N) with a foot length of 30 cm is jumping from the right foot with only the ball of the foot in contact with the floor. a) Assuming static equilibrium, how much muscle force (G) in...
