    For problems 5-8, the joint is moving through its range of motion. As it does this, the angle between the muscle and the long axis of the bone, theta, changes. Assume that the muscle force is a constant 500 N and the distance from axis of rotation to the muscle insertion, d, is 0.02 m. Find the torque for each angle theta. Refer to the figure below. (HINT: Calculate the torque using T = F * sin(angle) * d.) 5....
