A patient's foot shown in the figure does contact the floor only at point P (the heel (1) does not touch the floor). The calf muscle acts on the foot with a force at point A, while the lower leg bones act on the foot with a force at point B. If the patient's weight is 900 N, distance a = 5 cm and distance b = 15 cm, the lower leg bones' force (in N) is: A 900 downward 5400 downward 3600 downward 3600 downward 5400 upward 'В Calf muscle Lower leg bones A patient's foot shown in the figure does contact the floor only at point P (the heel (1) does not touch the floor).
