The large quadriceps muscle in the upper leg terminates at its lower end in a tendon attached to the upper end of the tibia (see Figure a). The forces on the lower leg when the leg is extended are modeled as in Figure b, where T is the force of tension in the tendon, w is the force of gravity acting on the lower leg, and is the force of gravity acting on the foot. Find T when the tendon is at an angle of 25.0° with the tibia, assuming that w = 26.0 N, F 12.3 N, and the leg is extended at an angle 8 of 40.0° with the vertical. Assume that the center of gravity of the lower leg is at its center and that the tendon attaches to the lower leg at a point one-fifth of the way down the leg. (Give the magnitude.)

Hi, I have been trying so long for this question but I couldn't handle this. Can you solve this question for me. The value of the pulling forces occurring in the 4 cables in the figure is T1 = T, T2 = 2T, T3 = 2T, T4 = T. What should T be in order for these four cables to carry a total force of 15 kN formed in the supports?
