A person is sitting on the edge of the table with their knee bent and lower leg hanging straight down (90o). They kick out their lower leg until it is straight in line with the table (0o). What is the angular displacement of the knee in this problem if you assume the person is facing to the right? How does the angular displacement change if you assume the person is facing to the left?
