5.
The figure below represents the anatomy of the lower limb when balanced on
your toes and the body weight acts through the tibia. The Achilles Tendon
makes an angle (0) of 8° with the vertical and for this foot x1 is 6.2 cm and x2 is
12.3 cm.
Calf
Muscle
Tibia
Achilles
Tendon
Calculate the tension (T) in the Achilles Tendon if a 70 kg man stands on the toes of both
feet. Using the values in this example what is the mechanical advantage for this lever and
describe what that means in terms of the efficiency of the lever.
