Answer:
f = 7.06 N
Explanation:
The maximum frictional force on the knee joint of the person can be given by the following formula:
[tex]f = \mu R = \mu W \\[/tex]
where,
f = maximum frictional force = ?
μ = static friction coefficient = 0.016
W = Weight load on knee = mg
m = mass supported by knee = 45 kg
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
Therefore,
[tex]f = \mu mg\\f = (0.016)(45\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)\\[/tex]
f = 7.06 N
