During the calf raise exercise, the Achilles tendon is engaged and transmits loads from the calf muscle as shown in the figure. Determine: a) The force Ft acting through the tendon, assuming static equilibrium conditions

b) The minimum diameter the tendon can be without failing, assuming it has an ultimate tensile strength of 136 MPa

c) The magnitude of the maximum internal shear force developed within the tendon assuming a diameter of 3mm

Any help is appreciated. having trouble solving this.
