The torque in N.m that this force produces about the ankle joint is 19.3 N m.
How calculate the magnitude of the torque?
The torque in N.m that this force produces about the ankle joint is calculated as follows;
τ = F× r × sin(θ)
where;
- F is the applied force
- r is the perpendicular distance
- θ is the angle of inclination
The torque in N.m that this force produces about the ankle joint is calculated as;
τ = F× r × sin(θ)
τ = 720 N × 0.035 m × sin (50)
τ = 19.3 N m
Thus, the torque in N.m that this force produces about the ankle joint is 19.3 N m.
