INTRODUCTION Anthropometry is the study of the shape and size of the human body. As roebuck defines it – “the science of measurement and the art of application that establishes the physical geometry‚ mass properties and strength capabilities of the human body.” The name derives from anthropos meaning human and metrikos meaning of or pertaining to measuring. According to Pheasant(1996) anthropometry’s historical antecedents date back to Renaissance. He cites works such as Albert Durer’s (1471-1525)

Solid Mechanics Lab Report Measurement of Young’s Modulus Sherin Joseph 00549618 Measurement of Young’s Modulus of Aluminium using Cantilever loading Abstract The Young’s modulus of Aluminium was calculated using the measurements of the cantilever deflections. A beam of aluminium was clamped on one end and the other end was loaded with different weights‚ ranging from 1 to 15N. The deflection was then measured using a dial gauge. The slope of a load (abscissa) vs. deflection (ordinate)

Cell respiration takes place in the mitochondria of animals and in the cytoplasm of plants. The formula for aerobic cellular respiration is: c6H12O6+ 6O2→6CO2+6H2O Aerobic respiration occurs when oxygen is present‚ while anaerobic respiration occurs when

1. ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ we will measure the stress and the strain in an elastic body‚ observe Hooke’s law and determine the modulus of elasticity of the material. Furthermore‚ the stiffness k of the rigid body is determined as well. 2. OBJECTIVE To measure the deformation (strain) in a truss member‚ determine the modulus of elasticity of the material involved and the stiffness of the rigid body. 3. THEORY As shown in figure one‚ the system consists of a truss member BG and a rigid

Raw materials Full ripe cactus Opuntia dillenii fruits were harvested from the orchard of Faculty of Agriculture‚ Suez Canal University‚ Ismailia Governorate‚ Egypt during December 2014. Fruits were washed and glochides and the two distal parts (top and bottom parts) were removed. The fruits were mashed in a mixer by mixing for 15 s. After that‚ the seeds were separated‚ washed and dried by hot air in a convective dryer (WT-binder‚ Type F115‚ Germany) at 50 ºC‚ air velocity

Appendix E ROCKET THEORY Rocketry encompasses a wide range of topics‚ each of which takes many years of study to master. This chapter provides an initial foundation toward the study of rocket theory by addressing the physical laws governing motion/propulsion‚ rocket performance parameters‚ rocket propulsion techniques‚ reaction masses (propellants)‚ chemical rockets and advanced propulsion techniques. matter‚ which depends on both how much and how fast propellants are used (mass flow rate)
