What percent of the body's weight is born by the talus bone during walking?
We have two talus bones in our bodies. If the weight is evenly distributed throughout the body, they each take 1/2 the load, or one half the body weight when standing.
How much weight could be lost in a month by starving yourself?
when the body undergoes starvation, the brain slows down metabolsm causing the body to conserve calories thereby causing very little weight loss. a lot, maybe like 30 pounds, if you survived. And it will be very easy to gain back weight when you eat again, probably even fatter than when you started. When you eat food normally it will barely add to your weight, but after not eating for a long time you gain lots of weight because the body is in "survival" mode. The actual weight lost in a month depends on a lot of things and who it is.
Can you get sciatica after hernia surgery?
Normally they do not have any correlation. But if you have prolonged rest after inguinal surgery and you have less muscle tone of back muscles, you may develop sciatica at times. Specially when you bent, twist and lift the weight, all at a time.
What is a weight factor?
a factor of weight is gravity.
What is taring?
Tare weight is the weight of an empty vehicle or container. Taring is the process of determining the weight of goods carried. It is obtained by subtracting the tare weight from the gross weight.
When you are standing on the ground how much upward force is exerted on you by the earth?
The force is exactly equal to your weight.
The weight of a person can be represented by a vector that acts?
The weight of a person can be represented by a vector that acts downwards.
Why is the pressure on the ground more when a man is walking than when he is standingn?
when a man is standing on ground all his weight is in downward direction and pressure is the force divided by area as force is maximum and area is minimum so pressure will be more when he is standing
When is the pressure on the ground more-when a man is lying or when a man is standing?
There is more pressure when the man is standing, since pressure is the amount of force acting on a certain area and is calculated by dividing the force by the area. When a man is standing, the area of contact with the ground is less than the area of contact when lying down. Since his weight is constant, there is more pressure when he is standing.
Why does a person feel lighter when swimming in a pool than when standing on the ground?
it is because of the bouyant force or upthrust
When is the pressure on the ground more when a man is lying or when a man is standing?
The person of mass (m) exerts the same force on the ground both standing up and lying down. This can be easily seen through Newtons Second Law ie F = ma. Knowing that pressure is defined as force over area (P = F/Area), it can be seen that the person standing up is applying more pressure to the ground.
Will your weight be different by standing on 1 foot?
No
Is weight normally distributed?
NO!
When do you apply more pressure whether on standing on the floor or when you are lying on the floor explain.?
You apply more pressure when you are standing up. This is because when you are laying down the weight of your body is being distributed and is not all in one place. When you are standing up all your weight is in the one spot you are standing on.
Newton's Third Law says that for every action there is an equal and opposite?
The answer is reaction. A simple example is you standing on the ground. You are not moving or accelerating (in our reference frame). You are pushing down against the ground with a force (the action) equal to your weight. The ground pushes back up (opposite direction) with an equal force (the reaction force).
What is a dead load in building construction?
An influence line is used to show the effect of a dead load. This data normally manifests in a graphical display. Dead loads are permanently on the structure. The weight of the structure, or other similar elements is called a dead load.
Why are triangles so strong?
weight distribution along straight axis, transmitted to the base
