11.51 - BIO Supporting a Broken Leg. A therapist tells a 74-kg patient with a broken leg that he must have his leg in a cast suspended horizontally. For minimum discomfort, the leg should be supported by a vertical strap allached at the center of mass of the leg-cast system (Fig. PIL.51). To comply with these instruc- tions, the patient consults a lable of typical mass distributions and finds that both upper legs (Ihighs) together typically account for 21.5% of body wcight and the center of mass of cach thigh is 18.0 cm from the hip joint. The patient also reads that the two lower legs (including the feet) are 14.0% of body weight, with a center of mass 69.0 cm from the hip joint. The cast has a mass of 5.50 kg, and its center of mass is 78.0 cm from the hip joint. How far from the hip joint should the supporting strap be allached to the cast?
