Question
Two ropes are pulling on a log.The forces are F1=12 N at 10 degrees and F2=8 N at 120 degrees.
Step 1: Perform the necessary calculations (by resolving each force into the horizontal and vertical components) and determine the magnitude and direction of the net force. Note: Step 1 is strictly using the theoretical approach of calculations.
Step 2: Using graph paper provided, a protractor and a ruler, determine the resultant force graphically. (Choose an appropriate scale to fit your graphical solution on the graph paper provided).

- Three main forces that act on the patella, and are shown on the diagram below. These forces are the quadriceps muscle force (FQ), the patella ligament force (FPL), and the patellofemoral joint reaction force (FPF). The angles a and ẞ are with respect to a line that is perpendicular to FPF. Assuming a = 10°, ẞ = 30°, and FQ = 4000 N, use the equations for static equilibrium to calculate the FPL in Newtons.
