A therapist tells a 70.0 kg patient with a broken leg that he must have his leg in a cast suspended horizontally. For minimum discomfort, the leg should be supported by a vertical strap attached at the center of mass of the leg-cast system. In order to comply with these instructions, the patient consults a table of typical mass distributions and finds that both upper legs (thighs) together typically account for 21.5% of body weight and the center of mass of each thigh is 18.0 cm from the hip joint. The patient also reads that the two lower legs (including the feet) are 14.0% of body weight, with a center of mass 69.0 cm from the hip joint. The cast has a mass of 5.50 kg, and its center of mass is 78.0 from the hip joint. How far from the hip joint should the supporting strap be attached to the cast?

Can the conservation of energy be used to solve problems involving elastic impact, which assumes that the body is rigid?
A cubic crate of side s= 2.0 m is top-heavy: its CG is 18 cm above its true center. How steep an incline can the crate rest on without tipping over? [Hint: The normal force would act at the lowest corner.]
