ANSWER:Solution 41PE
Step 1 of 4
In the given problem, we need to calculate the magnitude and direction of the net force that is acting on the Achilles tendon. Also, we need to determine which type of movement it could cause by the calculated force.
Two muscles which are at the back of the leg, pull upward on the achilles tendon at angle of with the force
as shown in the figure below,
