Levers & Center of gravity & Stability

        Help!  

Question
Answer
What is a lever?   show
🗑
show Motive force and resistance force are on opposite side of the axis (F↓ ▲ R↓)  
🗑
show Motive force and resistance force are on the same side of the axis BUT resistance force closest to axis ( ▲ R↓ F↓)  
🗑
Third class lever (most common)   show
🗑
The main advantage of 3rd class lever?   show
🗑
Law of the lever for long arm   show
🗑
show the force must be large to achieve the same moment of rotation if the lever arm is short (short arm = more force)  
🗑
show high risk injury  
🗑

🗑
show the point around which a body’s weight is equally balanced or distributed in all directions  
🗑
show the point around which a body’s mass is equally balanced or distributed in all directions  
🗑
show inside and outside the body  
🗑
CG inside the body   show
🗑
CG outside of body   show
🗑
Why is the CG of interest in the study of human bio-mechanics   show
🗑
show way above the center of gravity  
🗑
CG↓ low as possible   show
🗑
show the lower you reach  
🗑
How might CG get even lower once you are in the air?   show
🗑
What does center of gravity obey?   show
🗑
Balance   show
🗑
show Resistance to the distribution of equilibrium  
🗑
show size, base support, height of CG  
🗑
Size   show
🗑
show if line of the CG falls within the base of support, stability results  
🗑
Height of CG   show
🗑
Base of support   show
🗑
What can increase a body's stability?   show
🗑
