Exercise 1

The radius of gyration of the thigh with respect to the transverse axis at the hip is 54% of the segment length. The mass of the thigh is 10.5% of total body mass, and the length of the thigh is 23.2% of total body height. What is the moment of inertia of the thigh with respect to the hip for males of the following body masses and heights (A = 0.25 kg. m 2 , B = 0.32 kg. m 2 , C = 0.30 kg. m 2 , D = 0.37 kg. m 2 )
