Danielle Ebenal Professor Davis PHY 107 Due: 2-18-22 Lab Notebook 7 We have decided to proceed with experiment 3. To do this we will do the following: A. Measure the distance d between the two support points and record it. B. Obtain an accurate measure of height (h) and weight (W) using the force plate used for the reaction board. Record our values in the table below. C. Using your measured values and the derived equation above, calculate the distance from axis A to our CM. Also, show the CM as a percentage of your standing height. We are going to compare where centers of gravity are on women compared to men and we will measure one of our TA’s and Caden and me and Aubrey for next weeks experiment Team Member Being Measured Weight (N) Height (m) CM Location relative to point A CM location as a % of Height Caden 1 822.92 1.80 0.90 50% Caden 2 822.92 1.80 0.90 50% Caden 3 822.92 1.80 0.90 50% Tobin(TA) 889.64 1.82 Aubrey 605 1.73 Danielle 756.19 1.67 Shelly (The Board) 160.13 3.95 1.82 m 46% We predict that men’s center of mass will be closer to their torso and women’s center of mass will be closer to their legs.
For this week we will try to find the center of mass for the board that is lying on the force sensors. Shelly’s (The Board) mass in newtons and height have been found and now we need to find its center of gravity. To do this we will use the equations below. X= (71.4-61.7)3.95/160.13=0.23927434 We have decided that this equation will not work for our board because we have two sensors, but this diagram only shows one sensor. To fix this we have taken one sensor out from beneath Shelly (The Board) so that we can still use the equation. X= 73.7(3.95)/160.13=1.82 We are now going to do this for Caden X=441.7(1.8)/882.92=0.90 X=442.1(1.8)/882.92=0.90 X=445.2(1.8)/882.92=0.90
