Equilibrium of a Particle
7.

The patella P located in the human knee joint is subjected to tendon forces T1 and T2 and a force F exerted on the patella by the femoral articular A. If the directions of these forces are estimated from an X-ray as shown, determine the magnitudes of T1 and F when the tendon force T2 = 6 lb.. The forces are concurrent at point O.

T1 = 1.042 lb, F = 5.91 lb
T1 = 5.64 lb, F = 5.64 lb
T1 = 1.203 lb, F = 5.31 lb
T1 = 4.45 lb, F = 6.82 lb

Lami's theorem.

T2/sin(120) = F/sin100
F = 6.82.

T2/sin120=T1/sin140,
T1 = 4.45.
