To keep the calculations fairly simple, but still reasonable, we shall model a human leg that is 92.0 cm long (measured from the hip joint) by assuming that the upper leg and the lower leg (which includes the foot) have equal lengths and that each of them is uniform. For a 70.0 kg person, the mass of the upper leg would be 8.55 kg , while that of the lower leg (including the foot) would be 5.35 kg . Take that x-axis is directed horizontally and the y-axis is directed vertically downward.
A) Find the x-coordinate of the center of mass of this leg, relative to the hip joint, if it is stretched out horizontally.
B) Find the y-coordinate of the center of mass of this leg, relative to the hip joint, if it is stretched out horizontally.

PROBLEM 2 Knee Extension - The angular motion of the lower leg about the knee joint, and the forces and torques produced by the muscles crossing the knee joint during knee flexions and extensions have been investigated by a number of researchers utilizing different experimental techniques. One of these techniques is discussed here. Consider the person illustrated in Fig. 10.12. The test subject is sitting on a table, with the back placed against a back rest and the lower legs...

Definitions and Equations: Moment of Inertia (D): Tendency to resist angular acceleration; the angular equivalent of mass. In practical terms it is a measure of how hard it is to rotate an object or segment, like a baseball bat or a body segment. It is the sum of the products of the mass (m) with the square of its distance from the axis of rotation (ka). SEE FINAL TWO PAGES OF THIS LAB EOR CHARTS NEEDED TO CALCULATE L. 1...

Many aspects of a gymnast's motion can be modeled by
representing the gymnast by four segments consisting of arms, torso
(including the head), thighs, and lower legs, as in the figure
below.
Figures a and b
describe a gymnast's motion as he swings about a bar.
A side-view of the gymnast as he swings about the bar. The
