for a man of mass 75kg and height 185 cm claculate the following using standard anthropometric data.
1. length of his upper arm
2. mass of his upper arm
3. position of the centre of mass of his upper arm relative to the glenohumeral joint
4. radius of gyration of his upper arm about his glenohumeral joint
5. moment of inertia of his upper arm about his glenohumeral joint
To calculate the various anthropometric measurements of a man, including his upper arm length, mass, center of mass position, radius of gyration, and moment of inertia, we will need to use standard anthropometric data. These measurements can be estimated using formulas based on the individual's height and weight.
1. Length of the Upper Arm:
The length of the upper arm can be estimated as a fraction of the individual's height. Generally, the upper arm length is about 28% of the total height. Therefore, we can calculate the length of the upper arm using the following formula:
Length of Upper Arm = 0.28 * Height
2. Mass of the Upper Arm:
To estimate the mass of the upper arm, we need to know the body's proportionate mass distribution. According to anthropometric data, the upper arm typically accounts for about 2.7% of the total body mass. We can use the following formula to calculate the mass of the upper arm:
Mass of Upper Arm = 0.027 * Body Mass
3. Position of the Center of Mass of the Upper Arm relative to the Glenohumeral Joint:
Determining the exact position of the center of mass of the upper arm is more complicated and requires additional measurements. However, we can estimate its approximate location using the following formula:
Position of Center of Mass = 0.436 * Upper Arm Length
4. Radius of Gyration of the Upper Arm about the Glenohumeral Joint:
The radius of gyration provides a measure of an object's distribution of mass around an axis. For the upper arm, we can approximate the radius of gyration as a fraction of the upper arm length. The formula to calculate the radius of gyration is as follows:
Radius of Gyration = 0.279 * Upper Arm Length
5. Moment of Inertia of the Upper Arm about the Glenohumeral Joint:
To calculate the moment of inertia, we need to know the upper arm's mass and the distance from the center of mass to the glenohumeral joint. The formula for the moment of inertia (I) is given by:
Moment of Inertia = (1/12) * Mass of Upper Arm * (Length of Upper Arm)^2 + Mass of Upper Arm * (Position of Center of Mass)^2
Using the formulas mentioned above and plugging in the given values (body mass of 75 kg and height of 185 cm), you can calculate the desired anthropometric measurements for the upper arm.
