espirita Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I was just talking to some of my coworkers about how females have a lower center of gravity than males (no I don't recall how we got on this subject). Some of them remember a test that involves bending at a 90 degree angle with your head against the wall, and a chair... and because of the different centers of gravity, males could not do it but females could. Unfortunately no one could remember the specifics of the "test"... so does anyone here know? If I don't find out this is gonna bug me and I REALLY won't be able to get any work done!

olyclimber Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I can't believe you guys talk about God in the workplace. Seems like its inviting trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mec Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 sounds like a flexibility test more than a center of gravity test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archenemy Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I can't believe they got you to bend over so easily. That's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinker Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 http://www.nipissingu.ca/education/jeffs/EDUC4234/TLStrategies-Structures_and_Mechanisms-grade7.html Strand: Structures and MechanismS Topic: Structural Strength and Stability Overall Expectation demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the effectiveness of structural forms and the forces that act on and within them Specific Expectation demonstrate awareness that the position of the centre of gravity of a structure (e.g., bridge, building, tower) determines whether the structure is stable or unstable Materials chairs wall Procedure have all the female students stand over a chair with their bodies bent at a 90 degree at the waist and heads against a wall have students pick the chairs up have students stand up straight have male students do the same the males will have a much harder time picking the chairs up then the females Scientific Explanation when children are younger their center of gravity is similar as they mature, females center of gravity is around the navel and males center of gravity moves higher up the body, closer to the shoulders because the females center of gravity is in the middle it is easier for them to pick up the chair the males have a hard time standing up with the chair because their center of gravity is higher on their bodies ***** This isn't very clear to me, but it seems to be what you're seeking.

espirita Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 Wow, you guys are quick. Was busy doing that nose-mouse thing... the results were mixed. I could do it but 2 other people (1 M & 1 F) could not. Hmmm... but we did have a good laugh! OK I'm going to go try this one. BRB You guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
