Question

A soccer player extends her lower leg in a kicking motion by exerting a force with the muscle above the knee in the front of her leg. Suppose she produces an angular acceleration of 29.5 rad/s2 and her lower leg has a moment of inertia of 0.95 kg⋅m2 .

Answer 1

Answer:

28.025 Nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Angular acceleration, α = 29.5 rad/s^2

oment of inertia, I = 0.95 kg m^2

The torque is defined as

τ = I x α

τ = 0.95 x 29.5

τ = 28.025 Nm

Thus, the torque is 28.025 Nm.
