Download or read book Body Physics written by Lawrence Davis and published by . This book was released on 201? with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Body Physics was designed to meet the objectives of a one-term high school or freshman level course in physical science, typically designed to provide non-science majors and undeclared students with exposure to the most basic principles in physics while fulfilling a science-with-lab core requirement. The content level is aimed at students taking their first college science course, whether or not they are planning to major in science. However, with minor supplementation by other resources, such as OpenStax College Physics, this textbook could easily be used as the primary resource in 200-level introductory courses. Chapters that may be more appropriate for physics courses than for general science courses are noted with an asterisk symbol (*). Of course this textbook could be used to supplement other primary resources in any physics course covering mechanics and thermodynamics"--Textbook Web page.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is another classic contribution by Braune and Fischer to the field of biomechanics. The pendulum method was employed to ascertain ac curately the moments and radii of inertia of the human body and its different parts about all axes - transverse, oblique or longitudinal. This elegant method is described in detail, together with the results. Relations were found between the centres of inertia on one hand and the lengths and diameters of the body segments on the other. These data were originally prepared for the authors' later work, The Human Gait, to determine the forces exerted on and by the parts of the body during walking. Such work is the basis for solving the mechanical prob lems related to any movement of the human body: thus, the original results presented here continue to be of im mense value to current research and practice.

Download or read book Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise written by Peter Merton McGinnis and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2005 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise, Second Edition, introduces exercise and sport biomechanics in concise terms rather than focusing on complex math and physics. This book helps students learn to appreciate external forces and their effects, how the body generates forces to maintain position, and how forces create movement in physical activities.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is matter of some surprise that this treasury of information concerning the centres of gravity of various parts of the human body has remained hidden not only from the English speaking world for obvious reasons, but also to some degree from the Ger mans themselves. What is less surprising is t!1at this work is a monument to the renouned German thoroughness as demon strated by the relentless pursuit of data and the meticulous ac curacy of the conclusions. However, these scientific investigations carried out in Leipzig must be viewed in the intellectual climate of the time. In the lat ter half of the nineteenth century, and later, Germany underwent an intellectual explosion. It was the age of Rhumkorff, Max Planck, the Weber brothers and Gottingen University. It was said that science came to life during discussions on the train be tween Gottingen and Berlin. So the scene was set and Braune and Fischer made good use of it and fulfilled their role as mem bers of the Royal Scientific Society of Saxony. When Pauwels (1935) analysed the static and dynamic forces exerted on the hip joint when standing and when walking, he needed data concerning the centres of gravity of the human body and of its different segments. I was faced with the same pre requisite when I studied the forces acting on the knee (1976).

Book excerpt: "Data are presented concerning the location of the center of gravity of the adult male in various body positions and the ability to shift the c.g. voluntarily with various body motions. Maximum possible shifts of the c.g. from that of an erect standing posture were found to be 11 1/2 inches toward the head, 10 inches toward the feet, 8 inches anteriorly, 4 1/2 inches posteriorly and 4 1/2 inches laterally."--Abstract.

Download or read book The Center of Gravity of the Human Body as Related to the Equipment of the German Infantry written by W. Braune and published by . This book was released on 1944 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The action of the earth's power of attraction can be imagined as a force from every center of gravity of the body, acting in the direction of a line connecting each center with the center of the earth, and equal to the weight of the mass gathered at the original point. Because of the great distance from these points to the center of the earth, all those lines run parallel to each other. A resultant therefore exists for these forces of inertia. This resultant corresponds to a fixed straight line for every position of the body. This straight line remains unchanged if the body is displaced in space over not too great a distance, while still remaining parallel to itself, but does change its position within the body as soon as the latter is rotated about it. The straight line in the new position intersects the old one at a definite point.
