Calculate the force and pressure acting across the pelvis


Calculate the force and pressure acting across the pelvis and at the feet of a 150 lbm person. Model the body using cylinders. Neglect external pressures (such as air pressure) Assume that the individual distributes his/her weight equally between two legs. Assume that the cross-sectional area of the foot is approximately that of the leg. Assume that the cross sectional area of the pelvis is approximately that of the trunk of the body. Several additional assumptions are needed; state them clearly. In your ,model is the pressure higher at the pelvis or the feet?
