= Problem 24 The diagram shows the right foot of a 120 lb person standing on “tip-toe.” The tension in the Achilles tendon T makes an angle a = 57° with the horizontal. A. Neglecting the weight of foot (Wp = 0), compute the tension in the Achilles tendon and the magnitude and direction of the reaction force R at the distal end of the tibia. B. Repeat part A, but include the weight of foot (using the anthropometric data for the Standard Human). Assume the foot’s center of gravity is 2 inches below the end of the tibia. C. Compare the answers in parts A and B. What percent error is introduced by omitting the foot weight? Is it reasonable to neglect the foot weight for this analysis? a V 2" N WE R 2.3" 3.8"
