Three bones—the femur, the tibia, and the kneecap—join to form the human knee. These bones are connected by four ligaments that act as strong ropes holding the bones together and keeping the knee stable. One of them is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which holds the tibia in front of the femur. Assume that the ACL has a typical length of 38 mm and an average diameter of 8 mm. How much force should be applied on it for its length to change by 0.08%?
Take Young’s modulus for the ACL as Y = 1 × 108N/m2.

21. List the three bones which form the acetabulum a. b. C. and 22. The non-articulating portion of the acetabulum is the the area of the acetabulum that which interrupts the smooth circumference of the acetabular rim is the 23. The fovea capitis is an important site found on the femoral head, it is the attachment site for which ligament? What is its function? a. b. 24. What is the name of the ridge of the femur that provides attachments...
