Question

John is standing on one foot and is in static equilibrium. Determine the ankle, knee and hip joint reaction forces in the x and y direction. Mass of the foot = 1 kg

 

Mass of the leg = 3 kg

 

Mass of the thigh = 8 kg

 

GRFx = -50 N

 

GRFy = 800 N

 

Based on the information above, calculate the JRF at the ankle in both the x and y direction (only complete the ankle - the knee and hip will follow). Be sure to show your work and identify your final values.
