A schematic diagram of the knee joint is shown in Fig, where Cdenotes the effective center of rotation of the knee and P is the point of insertion of the quadriceps tendon to the patella. The distance from C to P is 10 cm. The quadriceps, responsible for extension of the knee, are known to produce maximum isometric tetanic tension at an effective optimal length of 30 cm. This occurs when the knee flexion angle, θ, is 45◦. Obtaining muscle performance data from the appropriate figure in this chapter, determine the range of knee flexion angles for which the quadriceps produce an isometric tetanic tension at least 80% of maximal. Hint: be careful to use radians (rather than degrees) in this question when appropriate.

- A fender is mounted on a automobile though dampers (to absorb collision energy) and springs (so that the fender can recover after low-speed collisions). During a crash-test, the automobile is moving at 2 m/s when its fender strikes a concrete barrier. The vehicle mass, m, is 1,000 kg. (In comparison, the fender itself is essentially massless.)
