The Achilles tendon inserts on the calcaneus at a distance of 8cm from the axis of the ankle joint.

The Achilles tendon inserts on the calcaneus at a distance of 8cm from the axis of the ankle joint. If the force generated by the muscle attached to the Achilles tendon is 3000N and the moment arm of this force about the ankle joint axis is 5cm, what torque is created by these muscles about the ankle joint?

Torque = Force * perpendicular distanceT = 3000 x 0.05 = 150 Nm
