fracture plane 3. An external fixation device is used to facilitate the healing of a fracture in the tibia. A force Fo applied at the foot causes the lower pin to rotate by an angle of 3° with respect to the upper pin. The rod has a radius of r = 4mm and is made of a material with shear modulus G = 60G Pa. Assume L = 300mm and L = 40mm. bone (a) . Calculate the value of the applied force Fo.
