Imagine a bone with a muscle having an insertion angle of 15? , with a distance between the point of insertion and the center of the joint of 1.2 cm. The muscle can generate a maximum isometric tension of 1.3 N.How much torque (in Nm) can the muscle generate at the joint? What force (in N) can be generated at the output end of the bone if the length of the out-lever is 14 cm?
Answer The muscle can generate 4 mNm of torque and 29 mN of force.

PROBLEM 2 Knee Extension - The angular motion of the lower leg about the knee joint, and the forces and torques produced by the muscles crossing the knee joint during knee flexions and extensions have been investigated by a number of researchers utilizing different experimental techniques. One of these techniques is discussed here. Consider the person illustrated in Fig. 10.12. The test subject is sitting on a table, with the back placed against a back rest and the lower legs...
