The Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel, is the thickest and strongest tendon in the body. In extreme activities, such as sprinting, it can be subjected to forces as high as 10 times a person's weight. According to one set of experiments, the average area of the Achilles tendon is 77.9 mm2 , its average length is 25 cm , and its average Young's modulus is 1474 MPa . part a for tensile stress is 7.08x10^7...
The Achilles tendon connects the muscles in your calf to the back of your foot. When you are sprinting, your Achilles tendon alternately stretches, as you bring your weight down onto your forward foot, and contracts to push you off the ground. A 70 kg runner has an Achilles tendon that is 15 cm long and has a cross-section area of 110 mm2 typical values for a person of this size. Part A By how much will the runner's Achilles...
The largest tendon in the body, the Achilles tendon, connects the calf muscle to the heel bone of the foot. This tendon is typically 13.0 cm long, 5.20 mm in diameter, and has a Young's modulus of 1.65×109 Pa . If an athlete has stretched the tendon to a length of 13.7 cm , what is the tension ? , in newtons, in the tendon?
The largest tendon in the body, the Achilles tendon, connects the calf muscle to the heel bone of the foot. This tendon is typically 14.0 cm long, 5.30 mm in diameter, and has a Young's modulus of 1.20 x 10° Pa. If an athlete has stretched the tendon to a length of 14.7 cm, what is the tension T', in newtons, in the tendon? T = 0.00011934 N
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...
