Consider an adult with 70 kg mass and 1.70 m height, seated on the floor, with crossed arms and outstretched legs, as shown in the figure. It is not very easy to remain in this posture during a long time. The figure shows the lateral cut, and the table gives the x and y coordinates of the center of gravity of some segments, as well as the respective masses. The C.G. of head and of neck-trunk-crossed arms is vertically aligned at a distance of 81 cm from the sole of the feet.

Transcribed Image Text:Consider an adult with 70 kg mass and 1.70 m height, seated on the floor, with crossed
arms and outstretched legs, as shown in the figure. It is not very easy to remain in this
posture during a long time. The figure shows the lateral cut, and the table gives the x
and y coordinates of the center of gravity of some segments, as well as the respective
masses. The C.G. of head and of neck-trunk-crossed arms is vertically aligned at a
distance of 81 cm from the sole of the feet.
(a) Find the coordinates xA and yA of the C.G. of the
set head-neck-trunk- crossed arms.
(b) Locate the coordinates xg and yg of the C.G. of the set
thigh-legs-feet.
(c) Calculate the coordinates xc.G. and yc.G. of C.G. of :
this person's body and explain why we do not feel
comfortable in this posture.
