center of gravity test

[espirita]

 

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!

I can't believe you guys talk about God in the workplace. Seems like its inviting trouble.

[espirita]

Yes, but you don't know where I work, do you?

 

But seriously...

[mec]

sounds like a flexibility test more than a center of gravity test.

wide load, wide wide load

sounds sexual....

I can't believe they got you to bend over so easily.

That's great.

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.

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

there was just WAY too many "being bent over a chair" thoughts going on in my mind...I had to step away from the computer and collect myself......wow..
