Question:

A 68-kg woman stands straight with both feet flat on the floor. Her center of gravity is a horizontal distance of 3.0 cm in front of a line that connects her two ankle joints. The Achilles tendon attaches the calf muscle to the foot a distance of 4.4 cm behind the ankle joint. If the Achilles tendon is inclined at an angle of 81° with respect to the horizontal, find the force that each calf muscle needs to exert while she is standing. [Consider the equilibrium of the part of the body above the ankle joint.]
