A person is standing on a level floor. His head, upper torso, arms, and hands together weigh 471 N and have a center of gravity that is 1.29 m above the floor. His upper legs weigh 154 N and have a center of gravity that is 0.761 m above the floor. Finally, his lower legs and feet together weigh 87.2 N and have a center of gravity that is 0.235 m above the floor. Relative to the floor, find the location of the center of gravity for the entire body.
Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics
In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.
Equilibrium of Forces
The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.
