1) No, its because the volume of the from the heaviest object. Small animals wont be able to hold much since their legs are weaker and if the volume is big and heavy than they do not stand a chance. The only weay a smaller animal is albe to bear a larger weight in proportion to its size is if the volume is weak. If the volume is weak and lighter than the small animal can take it.
2) The way that the design is different in larger vs smaller animal in terms of surface/volume ratio is by the circumference. If you notice D, the legs ae smaller than the rest of them. Because of the circumference is smaller, the volume will also be less since there is not much weight there. A would be the best example with the best circumference and volume. Because the …show more content…
Weight must be more evenly distributed in a terrestrial animal, as it is not supported by water. So since the dolphins and whales live underwater, they will feel lighter due to the water mass or volume. Because that volume is higher than their mass or proportions, they can easily move. But for a animal in terrestrial, since they do not live underwater but on land, the mass or volume of the land is lower than theirs. So their body size is heavier than mammals that live underwater.
5) My mean for the large animal max load was 167. it was 166.97 so I rounded it to the nearest number. My small animal size max load mean for the class was 36. My original number was 35.56 so I rounded it to 36. I was surprise that many people in the large animal max load got the same number as me, I saw two other students with 190. I noticed many were in the 100 while I noticed one over 200 I believe. For my animal small max load, most of the students were around my number. Some students were 45 and I think I saw one that was 50? I was surprise that the small animal could take that much weight.
